Simply, historically, there is no 'baseline' for Japanese typography. Read description of character frame (em square) of Japanese character, at https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#kanji_hiragana_and_katakana, and understand that Japanese typography is based on 'character body' or em-square character frame but not baseline. IF you want to compare Japanese em-squared body with baseline used for european typography, you need to set some comparable level as baseline, the easiest way could be to use middle level - as half of em-square, due to limitation of european level definitions. You can check some comparison of characters like https://html.spec.whatwg.org/images/baselines.png (note, there is a raised issue which points some of levels are wrongly named). /cc @kidayasuo if any additional information. -- GitHub Notification of comment by himorin Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/jlreq/issues/246#issuecomment-738224628 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
