The effect you get right now is that of a different block being
created for each i-f-o, the default height of which is always the
line-height (1.2em IIC). AFAICT, the only way to manipulate the
height would be to specify a different font-size/line-height for each
created block --but then again, this seems somewhat suboptimal. I
think you'll fare far better with putting all of the characters
inside one single instream-foreign-object.


I can't use a single instream-foreign-object because I have no idea
how many letters there are, so I have no idea what the height should
be. Using line-height="0.8em" is giving me good results though.

I see. Still, even if you don't know how many letters there will be, you can still use one instream-foreign-object. I'd even say that you *do* now the number of characters, since you start from a full string which you split into separate chars. All you'd need to do is determine the string-length and set content-height/block-progression- dimension accordingly.

FWIW... HTH!

Cheers,

Andreas
