Hi all,

I've been TeX-doodling with the font shown on the page below:
http://www.typography.com/catalog/hoeflertext/ornaments.html

Some of the nicer patterns are predicated on having horizontal as well 
as vertical elements smashed up next to one another. I find myself 
having to adjust for little gaps with:

 \godown[-0.029\bodyfontsize]

Does this ring a bell with anyone? 


The last time I had problems with minute offsets, it was Acrobat's
fault. Do you also have problems in DVI mode?

Does this ring a bell with anyone? I would have thought \godown[0pt] 
was the answer, but not so, here. The font metrics seem to be right, 
adding up to 1000 in both directions (or a little more, actually, 
considering overlapping dots).


this is tex's interlinespace mechanism popping in; play a bit with

a row of things \par
\nointerlinespace
a row of things \par

or

\vbox \bgroup \offinterlinespace
 rows of ornaments
\egroup


In case anyone else is trying to follow along, those are most likely the 
\nointerlineskip / \offinterlineskip commands. I played with them the 
same night, and the results are indistinguishable from \godown[0pt].


Hmm.

Great! This solution worked for me. I have added it to Sample Macros in 
the Wiki.

Thanks,

Hello. I have a style request that I haven't come across before and 
don't know how to handle in ConTeXt.

I need the first line of text following a chapter title to always start 
15 picas from the top edge of the text area. In other words, no matter 
how little space the title takes up, the first line after it should 
always start at the same vertical point.

Something like
--
\chapter{Chapter title}
\godown[to=15pc]
Start of the text of the chapter...
quick and dirty:
\setuphead[chapter][before=\vbox to 10cm\bgroup,after=\vss\egroup]
\starttext
\chapter{test} \input tufte
\chapter{test\endgraf test} \input tufte
\stoptext
there are other solutions (synchronizing stuff) but that's more complex
