Re: Align top of text blocks

[Douglas McIlroy]

Arghh. I don't know what I was thinking. ps2-ps1 is the difference in tops.

Let ps1,  ps2, vs1, and vs2 be registers containing
point sizes and vertical spacings (expressed in
fundamental units) for two text limes.
Then if the two share the same base line,
their tops should be vs1-ps1 and vs2-ps2 units
above it. To align the tops, move the base line
of one by the difference of those quantities.
