Differences in physical size for fonts affects baseline alignment #61

Closed r12a closed 3 years ago

r12a commented 4 years ago

By and large, Indian scripts in browsers are rendered with default fonts provided by back-end Operating Systems. If there are major differences in physical size for a particular font size, which most of the times are, it shows the mixed-script text in an un-organized way. This obviously affects all the base-line attributes.

The first comment in this issue contains text that will automatically appear in the Bengali gap-analysis document as a subsection with the same title as this issue. Any edits made to that comment will be immediately available in the document. Proposals for changes or discussion of the content can be made in comments below this point.

The description of this issue is quite unclear. What does it mean “un-organized way”, and what is the expected result?

It’s just talking about the general issue of size inconsistency between fonts… Like how a paragraph with Times New Roman and Verdana mixed together can appear “un-organized” as well…
