I don't think a script is needed for this example. It can be simplified
to something like:

Horizontally align multiple separate texts. Note that the
@option{fontsize} value is included in the @option{y} offset.

drawtext=fontfile=FreeSans.ttf:text=DOG:fontsize=24:x=10:y=20+24-max_glyph_a,
drawtext=fontfile=FreeSans.ttf:text=cow:fontsize=24:x=80:y=20+24-max_glyph_a

Thanks for your comments.

It's hard for me to stress the point of the approach further.

I wonder if it becomes clearer if we use

TEXT1="one"
TEXT2="two"
X2=100

in discussed scripts.

Maybe a paragraph describing the flaw of naive approach should be added
to example annotation itself? I just followed the present pattern, that
example description is very concise.

I already realized that, but this example may be confusing to users. I
assume the close proximity of TEXT1 and TEXT2 were to demonstrate the
"normalized" placement of various glyph heights for multiple drawtexts,
but users may see this and wonder why you need to print "A.", with the
characters close together as in your example, using two drawtexts when
you could just use one (with text='A.'). Increasing X2 may make the
example less confusing in that regard.

The point is that with more naive approach to printing parts of text,
using just same vertical offset (code given below), it will look fine in
some cases (e.g. all capital letters), but case of printing part with
capital letter(s) and part without capitals, the parts won't be aligned.

With the following script, you'll see the dot floating at the top of "A"
letter:

#!/bin/sh
FONTFILE=font.ttf
FONTSIZE=32
Y=10 # vertical offset of texts
X1=10 # horizontal offset of first text
X2=30 # horizontal offset of second text
TEXT1="A"
TEXT2="."
ffplay -f lavfi -i "color=color=white,
drawtext=fontfile=$FONTFILE:text=$TEXT1:fontsize=$FONTSIZE:x=$X1:y=$Y,
drawtext=fontfile=$FONTFILE:text=$TEXT2:fontsize=$FONTSIZE:x=$X2:y=$Y"

I don't really understand the use case. Can you explain?

[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] doc/filters: drawtext: add example of printing texts on same baseline

[Andrey Utkin]

Dimensions of canvas drawtext produces vary depending on symbols in
text, so add example for printing multiple texts aligned horizontally.
