Subject: Re: [webkit-dev] Size Of Ruby Text?

Here's Kida-san's example as displayed with my local ruby changes:
(hope the image makes it all the way to the list)
This includes my early line-stacking changes. Notice that the ruby text (in "ruby" red ;-) overlaps the previous line - my code doesn't check to see if the ruby overlaps the pervious line or spills outside of the frame's top bounds.
The inter-character spacing is better, but not perfect. My overhang code needs to add inter-character spacing to the base text if the ruby text is wider and can't overlap its neighbors.
What were were discussing below is the space between the base text and the ruby text. The ruby text should be closer to the base text. As you can see above, it's getting laid out as if it were just a previous line.
Regards, Eric

Right. It is partly because webkit currently does not use glyphs that are designed for ruby. I would not worry this too much as with 14px many kanjis are only barely legible in anyway without the context. The lower bound for ruby can be 8px for base 16px = 12pt in 96dpi. I am reluctant to raise it to 9 px.
It would be more important to keep the 50% ratio until we hit the threshold to avoid too many white spaces between base characters.
