[cl-typesetting-devel] *use-exact-char-boxes*

Hello folks,

Is anybody trying to set *use-exact-char-boxes* to true?

I have noticed that text is actually shift a bit down within table cells and
draw-block when *use-exact-char-boxes* is false (default). Setting it to
true seems to make a page look prettier but reveals problems with *leading*.
(IMHO, the leading or leading-ratio slot should be added to the text-style
class.)

Are there any general directions about *use-exact-char-boxes*?
