This `sticking out' of punctuation is not supported by the CJK package. Maybe it's possible to add that (at least with pdfTeX it is, I think, cf. microtype.sty). > 2.

For the other dimension, it's a quite complicated task if you mix text with, say, images. The `octavo' document style package tries to print lines at a fixed grid (I've never used it by myself). Another approach is described here: https://www.tug.org/members/TUGboat/tb28-1/tb88bazargan.pdf (In case you aren't a member of TUG, please wait until April 6th, then this TUGBoat article can be read online without entering a password). > So I wonder, from those on the list more familiar with vertical > typesetting, what meaning can be attributed to any "suggestion" of a > vertical box height, and is there any point in trying to enforce it?

Perhaps you should also contact a pTeX forum, repeating your questions there.
