If you add a bordered span wrapping your text, you will see that this span (which I believe delimits what the spec calls content area) is correctly vertically centered in the inline box. Your glyphs are apparently appear low inside this area, but if you consider that there are characters with a higher ascent that those that you used (like È) then all looks correct (that's your page with these additions http://brunildo.org/test/test/lh_span.html .) -- Bruno Fassino http://www.brunildo.org/test
