Improve? Well it is designed for that so it is ok IMO ;-)

In fact, the only bug is the character descent missing in the first table.

In make-char-box:
:dy *leading* :baseline *font-size* 
should be replaced by something like:
:dy *leading* :baseline (- *font-size* *descender*)
With *descender* being the maximum descender for the font. 
Or better by adddding *base-line*:
:dy *leading* :baseline *base-line*

I will look at this when I find some time (so probably not this week)
