Thanks, Francisco, I've started looking into this. The root problem lies in various bounding-box calculations in the Metafont code (search for `set_char_box'). The Parmesan font glyphs (the \longa glyph is one example) often use symmetrical lengths for their Y-extent -- for example, #(-0.5 . 0.5). This sometimes seems appropriate, but it often seems grossly inaccurate, as you found out by debugging the skylines. Once I digest more of the Metafont code, I should be able to fix the bounding boxes. Unless, of course, the bounding boxes *need* to be inaccurate for some reason. :-) Thanks, Patrick _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
