That's right: I only want, and only set, a bottom border to the cell. The

In fact, I think that this is really an error in ghostscript:
TeXmacs probably attempts to draw boxes with width or height zero.
Please try to print your postscript file to a printer;
I think that the output should be OK.
Nevertheless, I should have a look and avoid to draw boxes
with width or height zero...

As I said, 1ln stands for the width of the fraction bar (or the bar in
a square root, or the bar in an overline, etc.). This width is in general
different from 1pt: it may actually depend on the font (and not only on
the size of the font).
