    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.

    @PeterGrill raisebox doesn't need graphicx; with depth instead of an eye computed 0.35ex you get the exact 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:



documentclass{article}

DeclareRobustCommand{rchi}{{mathpaletteirchirelax}}
newcommand{irchi}[2]{raisebox{depth}{$#1chi$}} % inner command, used by rchi

begin{document}

dg $chi$ dg $rchi$ dg

$chi_chi$ $rchi_rchi$

end{document}


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{... $rchi$ ...}).
