Looking > forward to hear from you. i'm still not quite clear about how Indian typographers address a situation where, in the same text, one of the initial-letters is very tall (eg. has subjoined consonants) and another is not tall. In the three schematics below, a tall character is represented by three @ signs stacked vertically, or two = signs where the character size has been shrunk to fit. A medium height character is represented by two @s. A,B, C and D are just labels for us to talk about the schematics, and are not part of the text. Would authors typically do A+B, or A+C or C+D? Or are there no real rules? A (tall character) @ xxxxxx @ xxxxxx @ xxxxxx xxxxxxxx B (medium height character) @ xxxxxx @ xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxx C (medium height character) @ xxxxxx @ xxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx D (tall character) = xxxxxx = xxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx One reason for asking is that i suspect the answer may affect whether intial-letter rules are generally set in the style sheet or have to be set individually on the element, or how the required space is worked out by the processor. ri
