thanks a lot. that indeed fixes it.

can do. although things are not yet 100% clear to me (not much to be found  
in the documentation). so is this right:

-- I guess `\setstrut\strut' does set the strut to the maximum height of  
all the glyphs in the used font? the explanation in 4.6 of the ref. manual  
is not really telling me how the box height in the example comes about  
(i.e. what the mentioned `maximal height' actually is).

-- `\setcharstrut{0123456789}': the command seems to be completely  
undocumented (I could not find it in wiki and ref. manual), but it seems  
clear what it does. except what do you mean by "tight case" here?

-- why is it necessary to state `strut=no' to switch of the default on top  
of setting the strut explicitly?
