showcharinbox

package.

Summary description: Show characters inside a box License type: lppl

Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

This package typesets a character inside a box, showing where reference point is. It also displays width, height, and depth information of the character. This produces the output like the one in page 63 of The TeXBook or page 101 of The METAFONTbook. The package is motivated by Knuth macros in file manmac.tex.

Please note that using this package means that you should put a character in large size inside a box and putting small size of a character inside the box does not make any sense.
