Howdy, There are many glyphs that extend a tiny bit outside their defined boxes to look optically correct; an example would be the number 3. If the bounding box is made very tight pieces of these glyphs get cut off. Try the equation, \(\sin\,30=0.5\) (as an in-line equation and no extra margin and, of course, without the \( and \)) and you'll see that the left side of the `s' as well as the top of the `3' are slightly cut off. I'd like to force a 1pt margin all around so that I don't run into this problem as often. If the baseline information compensates then there should be almost not noticeable problem most of the time. Maybe all I need 90% of the time is 0.5pt but I know I can see problems when the extra margin is set to 0pt more often than I'd like. Good Luck, Herb Schulz (he...@wi...) |
