Real-life use of box around text
The boxes around the text do not look nice because of the unequal distribution of space.
Please attach a sample file, reduce the size as much as possible without private information, and paste the information in Menu/Help/About LibreOffice, there is a copy icon.

When using *one* style for all it would depend on the actual characters being used. |
Created attachment 193467 [details] Magnified screenshot with additional guide lines added Trying to create a "poor man's keyboard font" by putting a thin border around characters with 0.05cm distance, the border looks quite "uneven" around the characters. The screen shot is magnified to see the individual millimeters (and allows guessing the 0.5mm). IMHO there is no logical explanation for the extra space above the "ascender". The boxes do not "look good". Maybe some extra option is needed to ignore the metric limits when they are not used.
