[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Thank you for the quick reply. However, the height of the image,
(* 2 (line-pixel-height)), is equal to twice the `default-font-height`
(the 'line-pixel-height' and 'default-font-height' are equal, here both
17).

So before I add the character after the image, (line-pixel-height)
returns 17. But when I insert a character after it (with
'default-font-height' is 17), the `line-pixel-height` increases to
22. So I am not sure how to not let the line height increase.
I will try to play a little with the :ascent value.
