showcharinbox
package.
Summary description: Show characters inside a box
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
This package typesets a character inside a box, showing where reference point is. It also displays width, height, and depth information of the character. This produces the output like the one in page 63 of "The TeXBook" or page 101 of "The METAFONTbook". The package is motivated by Knuth macros in file manmac.tex. Please note that using this package means that you should put a character in large size inside a box and putting small size of a character inside the box does not make any sense.
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/showcharinbox . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/showcharinbox (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

showcharinbox – Show characters inside a box
The package typesets a character inside a box, showing where reference point is, and displaying width, height, and depth information of the character.
The output is like that on page 63 of “The TeXBook” or page 101 of “The METAFONTbook”. The package itself is motivated by Knuth’s macros in the file manmac.tex.
Users should note that using a small size for the character inside the box does not make any sense: use a large size.
