I have an kludge fix that I've been thinking about for use in
embedding pictures in text: Sliver the images so that the each
horizontal strip is the same height as the tallest font on that
line, or the same height as the ambient default face font if
there's no printable text on the line.  If the image
instantiators supported :top-left and :bottom-right keywords for
displaying a rectangular section of an image, we could do the
rest of it in Lisp, I think.
