Hello Anton, Yes you're correct the descender would overlap the I. The same would happen with 'swashed' (fancier versions used for the first letter in a document etc) caps as they are often quite large. I personally feel that overlapping text is down to the designer to fix by increasing the line-height. However this may not always be possible due to font substitutions and user preferences etc. Regards Ric On 09/01/2012 11:05, Anton Prowse wrote: > On 09/01/2012 11:05, Richard Le Poidevin wrote: > >> >> Whilst I don't understand the complexities of how the lines are laid out >> in browsers for your reference here is how InDesign handles accents. >> >> http://www.betleywhitehorne.com/ric-lep/fix-css-line-height/indesign-accents.png >> >> >> They pop out of the top of the box.
