Since most of my handwriting nowadays is notes a Uni, it's done on paper
with little 5mm squares (meant for maths - drawing Cartesian coordinate
systems on ordinary lined paper is metaphysical punishment establishment). I
usually write on every second horizontal line, x-height being something like
2/3 of the 5mm to the line above, so the "empty" rows of squares get
punctuated by alot of ascenders as well as descenders from the text row
above. When writing rapidly, my lines tend to sag, so a line of text may end
one or two rows beneath where it started.
