Ross,

question pertaining to the boxes from Apple Symbol: am I correct in 
noting that the pseudo-asterism (via the \asterism command in this 
thread) actually generates too much vertical space, compared to a real 
asterism? Or would this not interfere when setting a linespacing of 0pt?

If it does generate extra vertical space, this would seem to me a pretty 
good argument to not use a compound construction like this, but instead 
to try and find a font with the actual asterism, or petition the 
forge/people that makes the font you use to add one to their font.
