IIUC we have never made direct use of the 0 base within a font. Rather, we take the font's total height --between ascent top and descent bottom (font designers choice with M hight plus any *internal* leading above or below) and that height is what is alligned TOP, CENTER or BOTTOM. Meaning that any two fonts with different metrics will ALWAYS allign differently--there is no common base line extracted from font(s). Try it with an exaggerated font like Styx Two. Short of a rewrite of VCL font handling, don't see a bug here, it is doing what is expected. While enhancement to actually align on the 0 base would be at odds with what other word processors do, don't see much demand there. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
