+ with accents. We only do this if the xheight has a reasonable value
+ (>50), and only if the -a flag is not given. Furthermore, we never
+ return a height less than the height of the original character.
+
+ The idea of this routine is to adjust the heights of bare characters
+ (say, t) so that the result of using the \accent primitive (say, \"t)
+ is the same as a precomposed tdieresis character. This is done in
+ the vpl output, so the vf+tfm generated from the vpl are affected,
+ but not the original tfm.
+
+ This idea is reasonable, but the downside is that changing the height
+ of the base character at all, but especially downward, has
+ undesirable consequences: when putting a rule over the character or
+ constructing a math bar-over accent, for example, the rule will be
+ too close to (or too far from, if the height is increased) the
+ character.
+
+ Furthermore, these days, except when using the original CM fonts,
+ precomposed accent glyphs are widely available and used. And afm2tfm
+ is not used much with the original CM fonts, as they don't come with
+ afm files :).
+
+ In any case, there is one situation where adjusting the height of the
+ base character by looking at the standalone accent is definitely
+ wrong: the dcaron, tcaron, and [Ll]caron glyphs. In these cases, the
+ usual check-above shape is replaced by (approximately) an apostrophe
+ to the right of the character. Therefore looking at the standalone
+ check glyph is inapplicable.
+
+ In general, it seems wrong to ever decrease the height from the
+ original, since that will almost certainly result in crashes with
+ \bar and the like. That seems worse than a mispositioned accent.
+ So the routine returns the original height if the heuristic would
+ decrease it.
+
+ Nevertheless, despite all the above, the original behavior has been
+ around for so many years that it seems bad to change it now. So
+ adjustments upward are still made, unless -a is given.
