It could happen in a table, if a row contained a cell with a large font and a cell with a small font. It is also often used in old-style books for the first letter of a chapter. The first letter would be larger and look fancier than the others. If an image could also be a "character", then I can see how positioning images in the text flow and letting the text flow around them would produce something like this. > It seems to me that Emacs would be an adequate word processor for > editing things like manuals, and web pages that are mainly substance, > even if it could not do anything like this. I think especially the table example above is relevant for this. Kai
