Dear "texhax",<br>
<br>
Karl Berry suggested that I email you and <a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:texhax@tug.org">texfonts@math.utah.edu</a>
for
possible suggestions concerning a problem I have encountered.<br>
<br>
It concerns base alignment of multiple text strings that are part of a
piece of Mathematica graphics. <br>
<br>
The problem is described completely in <a
href="cid:part1.07000607.07020109@princeton.edu"
moz-do-not-send="false">http://www.princeton.edu/~michaelb/nmr/projects2/mscp/ofsq.pdf</a><br>
<br>
The file <a
href="http://www.princeton.edu/%7Emichaelb/nmr/projects2/mscp/fofsq.pdf">http://www.princeton.edu/~michaelb/nmr/projects2/mscp/fofsq.pdf</a>
explains how ofsq was produced. It need not be read to understand the
problem.<br>
<br>
The problem arose in my use of Mathematica 2D graphics for the diagrams
in a paper which I coauthored, that appeared recently in the Journal of
Magnetic Resonance. 204 (2010) 189--195, doi:
10.1016/j.jmr.2010.01.009, 2010. This need not be read to see the
problem, either, but it
reinforces my practical concern for a clean solution before I extend
the software of that paper for its successor,
and before I can help some colleagues draw other Mathematica graphics
that contain text. <br>
<br>
I am not being lazy in seeking help rather than pitching in to the
study of the PostScript reference manual. I am 81, with a large backlog
of material on other topics that I am trying to wrap up while I can.<br>
<br>
I wrote Nelson Beebe for a referral last week, and he said he would try
to look at the problem but not until the end of the Summer, so I saw no
harm in casting further afield.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
