Re: [jlreq] Example of central-baseline alignment of sideways-ed Latin glyphs within a vertical Japanese line box (#246)

Thank you, @xfq. Yes, I was trying to say that in a pure Japanese typographic model, the line height is embox-based, the line gap is derived from several systems of line positioning (that differ from Latin leading and from CSS line heights and existing grids), the prioritization of character spacing by character class and then script, are all unique to Japanese convention, and favor Japanese fonts and glyph design over the rest. The Latin-based world and rules and priorities and conventions are different from this, and so I keep thinking we need a mode switch rather than a compromise of all rules to a single one-size-fits-all solution that does none of them well. (Of course measured by comparison to the print world; perhaps one's measure of quality can vary widely).
