I don't have any experience with fonts with a central or high baseline, so I don't know whether we need a new property for this in CSS. All fonts have a baseline. I'm wondering whether we ever need to align multiple fonts along different baselines "to make it look good". If you mix, say, Japanese and English, aligning both of them on the same baseline seems to look quite good, so it may not be necessary to adjust baselines. There may be situations (e.g. high-res printing, fonts with central or high baselines) where baseline adjustment is a matter of course. It would be interesting to hear from people with actual experience in this area. Erik
