Re: Slight text lowering

You will need to set \topskip to 0 pt if you want the line to be flush top regardless of font size.

Please note the following simple example typed in Plain TeX code (that I

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\voffset=-1true in

\font\sixteenrm=cmr16\sixteenrm

Hello!

\vfill\eject\end
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

and look how the text perfectly touches the top of the paper.  Instead, if I
comment out the line including the font statement, the text slightly lowers
down a bit.  Is it normal?

Thanks,
