Is this documentated somewhere? Is there a reference to, e.g., the Metafont book or vol. E? I think it would be a useful extension to the TFM format to have these font informations "officially" built in. BTW what happens if you use such fonts in math? > If you want grid fitting, I'm afraid you have to set \topsep to a > quite high value (height of the bounbing box of the largest char that > could appear there?) As I've read somewhere one shouldn't change \topskip because it influences the output routine somehow. And -- if I'm remembering correctly -- I changed the \topskip value to Didot points (because the body size, etc. was in Didot) and experienced some unexpected behavior.
