Looks great! I see you've found another use for glyph bounds; very useful primitive. (By the way, don't forget about eTeX's \dimexpr :)</blockquote><div><br>I know about \dimexpr. But call me old fashioned, I prefer to do things the older way sometimes but not always (If you look carefully, you will see a \numexpr). Actually, now that I think about it, I think that should be a \dimexpr?:<br>
<br><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> \ifnum\dimen@ <\numexpr\ht\z@ -\ro@length\relax</span><br><br>Hmm, maybe not, \dimen@ is accidentally multiplied by 65536 and \numexpr of the length forces the value to be multiplied by 65536 so I think it actually works out :-), is that right?<br>

Oh, no, no, no.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I wonder if this would work nicely with unicode math fonts, which I believe can have any number of extensible delimiter sizes.<br></blockquote><div><br>I don't know about "nicely". It would definitely work crudely with big operators and \left and \right (and eTeX's \middle?) brackets.<br>
<br>My example calls the glyphs directly from the PUA for the medium and big sizes (Mathematical Pi LT Std does indeed connect the medium and big sizes to the small sizes in the Unicode positions with some OpenType substitution, but I don't know how to activate it).<br>

There was someone on c.t.t. just the other day complaining that TeX didn't grow his large operators for him...<br></blockquote><div><br>Yep, I posted to that thread.<br><br>Andrew<br> </div></div>
