It does, thanks. It's a very thorough answer. Thanks for taking the time, Eli!

This was actually going to be my follow-up question :) I see lines of variable
height in many of most of my Emacs mode, through a combination of factors:
- Font switches due to symbols picked by prettify-symbols-mode not being
available in my main programming font
- Variable-pitch fonts being used by AucTeX for section and paragraph titles
- Varying font sizes to indicate nesting depth in Org-mode
- Changing line spacing to separate top-level items in org-mode
Is there actually a good way to support all this? Maybe using a very thin
space and a face with a :background on it would do. Or maybe it will be
possible to put a 'display (space …) property on the line character so that it
displays as a 1-px wide line?
Also, as a second follow-up question: we already have code to draw boxes around
characters; would it be hard to extend that code to allow customization of
which sides to draw? Alternatively, would it be hard to add a vertical
strike-through face property? (I've used horizontal strike-through as a way to
display horizontal lines in the past)
Cheers,
Clément.
