Get an approximation for the heaviness of a text font 27

10 I had a brilliant idea, really brilliant idea. I thought, the hyphen's height should correlate with the font weight. And for the first two fonts that's indeed the case, but not for CMR, which doesn't set a tight bounding box above the hyphen.

9 This answer combines @Skillmon's great idea to utilise the height of the `.` with a manually curated list of exceptions (the list of test fonts was taken from the very useful answer https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/249140/36296):

5 The font is working fine with LaTeX, the problem is rather that the `Bitstream Vera Sans` font you chose, does not contain the rupee symbol. You can see this by inspecting the content of the `.ttf` file:

**Blog post:** A biased study with one individual finds that a user, who does not use babel shorthands, does not experience a lot of advantages from them, but sometimes finds funny problems they cause. :)

I want to create a very simple pdf file that allows an end user on a Windows computer to fill in some information using pdf forms. E.g, a form to type free text, choose from a combo box an option, and fill some additional long text that will wrap (i.e. have line breaks). My plan is to create the form using LuaTeX's `pdfextension literal` and `pdfextension object`. I just don't know how to do it. I started reading Leonard Rosenthol and John Witington books about the pdf format, but I think that I will have better progress by reading using a text editor an uncompressed pdf file with forms, preferably made by a person and not by a machine. All pdf files I came across until now were super difficult to read after uncompressing them. Can anyone send me or refer me to such "learn from example" pdf files?
