> now I wonder, since Latin and CJK want different point to start the offset from, if there were any other requirements in other writing systems? I'm not clear exactly how this works, but baselines are different not only for CJK fonts but also for indic fonts (at least nominally), which have a hanging baseline, ie. at the location of the horizontal bar in अंतर्राष्ट्रीयकरण गतिविधि So i'm not clear whether the starting point for the offset, if it was measured from the baseline, would need to be adjusted for each type of script in the document. If so, things would become particularly problematic where you have a combination of scripts with different baselines on a line. Not only would you need to markup up text so that each part gets its own correct offset, but you'd also have to figure out how to have a single underline at the same location under and mixed script phrase, eg. अंतर्राष्ट्रीयकरण गतिविधि, W3C or 国際化活動 W3C Hopefully i'm missing something and this won't be an issue? -- GitHub Notification of comment by r12a Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/459#issuecomment-261228416 using your GitHub account
