Questions about ocropus-binarize
When I run the default ocropus-binarize The output removes any "descender" connected to the box underline

The default binarizer consists of a number of steps, one of which performs this operation.  It's implemented by the class StandardPreprocessing in C++.  It has a number of thresholds and parameters you can set.  You can see the settable parameters by typing

ocropus params StandardPreprocessing

You can either change the rmbig_... parameters or just remove the RmBig component from the preprocessing stack altogether.
