Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-inline-3] Clarification needed: Line box height can exceed a fixed line-height with mixed fonts (#12764)

Yeah, so the spec is correct but you have to read carefully and distinguish between "inline box" and "line box". In your example, the height of each inline box is controlled only by the first available font of that box. But there are two boxes on the line, and they are using different fonts, so the line box is a bit taller.

This is an annoying problem which `line-fit-edge` is intended to help solve.

Keeping the issue open to clarify the spec, since as you point out, it's very subtle. :)
