@SebastianZ Yes, that’s almost what I wanted to say. I’m not talking about typographic terms in the sense of their origin, but about the actual terms for in type metrics. These lines are called: - Ascender - Body Height - cap height - x-Height - Baseline - Descender The pink line in the figure above shows the baseline. Font designers design their fonts to align well with other type systems. Of course, it's great if you can also set the alignment to the x-height or cap height. https://www.w3.org/TR/css-inline-3/#baseline-tables The baseline in the digital fonts has its origin in the Latin script — typical for software development. But it is not bound to the Latin script or to "alphabetic". -- GitHub Notification of comment by jwssnr Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/8067#issuecomment-1450177118 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
