[l2h] Inline math symbol with no descender

[Raphael Clifford]

Ross

Thanks for responding so quickly.  I did some experiments last night to
make sure it was easily reproducible.  The problem arises when both
MATH_SCALE_FACTOR and EXTRA_IMAGE_SCALE are larger than 1.  In the example
below, I've set them both to 2, but other values give similar results.

The example is at 
     http://www.jesus.ox.ac.uk/~rcliffor/scaled/index.html
I've put the debug information at
     http://www.jesus.ox.ac.uk/~rcliffor/scaled/debug.log
and the lthconf.pm file at
     http://www.jesus.ox.ac.uk/~rcliffor/scaled/l2hconf.pm
along with the tex file at
     http://www.jesus.ox.ac.uk/~rcliffor/scaled/scaled.tex.

Thanks again

Raf
