Hi, I'm working on the CSS Line Layout specification [1], which covers drop caps and other initial letter effects. I was very happy to see examples of this in the Indic Layout Requirements document [2]. Can you clarify the bottom alignment point of the initial letter? The text mentions the text-after-edge, but the illustrations are not completely clear to me. Is there something in the font metrics that would define this? I've tried to make an example in the CSS Inline spec using a Devangari font [3]. I expect this figure is incorrect, but advice on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated! Kind Regards, Dave Cramer (co-editor of CSS Inline) [1] http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-inline/ [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/WD-ilreq-20141216/#first-letter [3] http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-inline/Devangari-Initial.png
