Hei All-knowing...:-)

As I may have mentioned, I'm making a lot of lists with that of my music 
I've tranfered to the computer. - These lists are set up in 2 columns - 
each album separated from the other. The album title is either colored 
itself or with a colored background. - I mix up the pages with pictures 
of the artists which I find on the net. The documents are then - when 
finished - saved both as RTF and PDF. The RTF files can then again be 
opened without problems and new albums added if and when I transfer or 
get more albums with the same artist, - and then it's only to save again 
as PDF. - The PDF because it's easier to scroll through such file than 
the RTF file... - So far so good...

In these RTF documents I sometimes use some special fonts with signs and 
'woodcut' art such as the "Bodoni Ornaments" and "Adobe Woodtype".

If I mix these two fonts in a 'triple' with two identical signa + 
another sign inbetween the two identical, then I can adjust line height 
to match some empty space at the buttom of a page from for example 1,0 
line to 0,7 line so the sign will fit at the buttom and not moved to 
next page.

This line adjustment can only be done for a whole line, which means that 
all signs on the line are moved upward or downward (fx. 1,0 to 0,7 or 
1,0 to 1,3 etc.)

Some signs are put on the lower part of the line, and others if mixing 
the two fonts - are put normal centered on the line.

Here's an (not all to good) example

I use this sign in AdobeWoodtype in a mix with BodoniWoodtype

'_' and this sign '0' by BodoniOrnaments and again '_' from 
AdobeWoodtype, so the 'buttom sign' will look like this '_0_'.

If I use the height adjustment all signs will be moved...

Instead I'd like to have the 'buttom sign' to be '-0-' - where the first 
and last character are adjusted to the center of the line and not to the 
buttom of the line...

Is it in any way possible to adjust each character individually? (NWP 
latest update)

NB. I know I can do it by making the 'buttom sign' - consisting of three 
characters into 3 columns with a single character in each column and 
adjust heights using font size + line height in a combination, - but 
it's rather spooky to do, because just changing line height or font size 
1p can mess up all three columns.:-)

Cheers, Erik Richard
