             Summary: Batik measures text height incorrectly
                 Key: BATIK-1219
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BATIK-1219
             Project: Batik
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Bridge
    Affects Versions: trunk
            Reporter: David Goldfarb
         Attachments: tqbf2-outer.svg, tqbf2.pdf

Batik calculates the area behind text (e.g., for feFlood in a filter) by calculating a tight rectangle bound the character glyphs.

Chrome, Firefox and Edge all calculate a somewhat looser rectangle, including the full line height. Their behavior seems correct, as it results in a much more pleasing and intuitive effect when multiple text segments are filtered in one line of text.

Attached files:
- tqbf2-outer.svg - a file demonstrating this problem. This can be loaded directly in any current browser
- tqbf2.pdf - the results in Batik. This differs from the browser results.

Proposed fix:
