I can't find any reference. But I've never worked with JM> LaTeX. Neither TeX or LaTeX understand TTF fonts. They used much more complex (and thus much more flexible) font system comparing to the FOP. Anyway, for correct baseline-ing it requires only text metric files for any used font to be present. At the translation moment it converts text metric files into binary representation to speed up generation procedure. Real font files are used only in rendering driver to consider various device resolutions. So, to compare FOP and TeX baseline behavior it would be enough to compare metric files. As you know, we were working on MathML rendering using JEuclid. In order to solve the baseline problem (and not only base line, there is bigger problem with some TrueType fonts when you try to put superscript or subscript after the italic text) we modified the FOP metric files. Within next couple of days I'll release JEuclid 3.0 which uses updated metrics. May be this would help you to decide which way this baseline have to be solved. -- Best regards, Gennadiy mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
