@karlcow > I wonder if there is a CSS solution for this issue. To me, this does not seem to be elegant computer science. Consider <code><a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference/Properties/vertical-align">vertical-align</a>: -1pt;</code>, or <code>vertical-align: -10%;</code> (where the percentage is alas of its container, rather than of the svg image). But this requires the CSS to know about the inside of the SVG. Some markers need no movement (e.g., ES =  ); some need little (IT =  ), some need some (BE =  ), and some need more (FR =  ). In each case, the CSS cannot just instruct ‘do it right’. Instead the CSS must know for itself, either by pre‑parsing the SVG for instructions in a comment, or by having a private table of numbers hopefully agreeing with the current version of the markers. To me, neither seem to be elegant computer science. -- GitHub Notification of comment by jdaw1 Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/1075#issuecomment-4085639376 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
