This is what I told you in the very beginning: Your logic to position
the glyphs

I'm still getting the hang of it.
I'm aware that when drawing text, all glyphs should be aligned on a single

font ascent and font descent). That may be a suitable compromise.
Hi,
Thank you for pointing it out. I'm unsure about the strategy to align the
baselines. The simplest would be aligning to the lowest / highest baselines,
but that may break some faces. The other method would be the one I mentioned -
calculate an "average" baseline and align to that, but it
