Changes

You can insert symbols at a reduced size in the text flow. This example creates a filled square scaled to .5 ex height

If TeX is in vertical mode (as it is when \startlines is in effect, because every lineis a paragraph by itself in the mode), then a simple \hbox is not a good enough hint to make it switch to horizontal (paragraph) mode.  Hans then posted a simpler way.<texcode>\getscaledglyph{.52}{Serif}{a}</texcodecontext> {{todo|An explanation and example of the <cmd>scale</cmd> command.}}
