baseline-shift and KnuthInlineBoxes
This is probably a question for Luca. if we have a baseline-shift, eg. some Xfo:inline font-size=smaller baseline-shift=super2/fo:inline ... how is that intended to be modelled with respect to the lead,height, and middle values to be stored in the created KnuthInlineBoxes for the fo:inline? Thanks Manuel

I think that more (or different) information needs to be stored in the KnuthInlineBoxes in order to fully implement the properties concerning the vertical positioning of objects. Lead, total and middle are only enough to handle vertical-align = top, bottom or middle; anyway, maybe three attributes could be enough: one identifying the alignment baseline (alphabetic, ideographic, text-before-edge, ...) and two specifying the box heigth above and below this baseline. The LineLM should look at these values when creating the lines: each box height will be interpreted differently according to its baseline: I think this will be the tricky part of this work! HTH, even if it' not much :-) Regards Luca

May be including some unusual scripts with strange baselines. Do we need something like OFFO for fonts, i.e. a repository of open licensed but incompatible with Apache license fonts already converted for use with fop? OFFO could easily host FOP-specific tables for such fonts. It could also maintain a list of such fonts. I am not sure it should host such fonts itself, but it could if there is a good reason.
