Visual debugging

Visual debugging

[Otso Helenius]

Hi,

I'm in a need for more visual debugging aids. I tried the supp-vis 
module, but it did not give enough cues.
I guess the ruledhbox is bound by ascender and descender height 
vertically, but I'd like to see also the
cap height and x-height lines. Is it possible?

Plus, is it possible to display the individual box around each letter 
similar to Knuth's TeXBook page 65?

Best regards,
Otso Helenius

when the list we can see if some more consistency is needed
