    that is a question of font design. chiis a lowercase character and its top is on the same height as of other lowercase characters. And, of course, we have an uppercase Chi, which should have another height than the lowercase one. This is the reason why chi has a depth.

    Why would you want that? If you are going to write that glyph to be a chi, then you will be writing it bad (it's like writing the lowercase letter g with no depth, it's wrong). IMO.

I'm not sure why you'd want this. However, it's easy to provide it:



documentclassarticle

DeclareRobustCommandrchimathpaletteirchirelax
newcommandirchi[2]raiseboxdepth$#1chi$ % inner command, used by rchi

begindocument

dg $chi$ dg $rchi$ dg

$chi_chi$ $rchi_rchi$

enddocument


Left the normal chi, right the raised one. I added the baseline in the image just for clarity.



enter image description here



With DeclareRobustCommand, rchi can be used also in section titles (but always in math mode, so section... $rchi$ ...).
