Re: Font Rendering: Multiple FT_Faces and baselines

Hi,

Thank you for pointing it out. I'm unsure about the strategy to align the baselines. The simplest would be aligning to the lowest / highest baselines, but that may break some faces. The other method would be the one I mentioned - calculate an "average" baseline and align to that, but it has the same drawbacks. Are there other methods that I've missed?

The output of `ftdump en.ttf` gives ``` ascender: 935 descender: -265 height: 1200 ``` This is perfectly fine. I've attached images of ``` ftgrid -e unic -f 20320 cjk.otf ftgrid -e unic -f 70 en.ttf ``` and you can see that the glyphs harmonize just fine if you align the baselines of the two fonts. Werner
