I think a few things have changed since you started working on it -
not sure how it was implemented, but I think you mentioned adding a
new value to the VerticalAlignment enum. If so, I'd like to suggest a
different approach - adding a boolean "alignToBaseline" style to
containers that support it. I think this will be more consistent with
how baseline alignment is handled in AWT.
Containers that I imagine might want to support this style include:
- FlowPane ("alignToBaseline")
- Form ("alignLabelsToBaseline")
I don't think it belongs in BoxPane since it would conflict with the
"verticalAlignment" style.
Are there others?

Hi
Yeah, I started work on doing baseline support, but I didn't get
around to finishing it.
I'm surprised it's that noticeable - it's normally only graphic-
design people who spot the mis-alignment, since it's generally only
off by 1 or 2 pixels.
The relevant issue is
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-99
if you want to add yourself to the CC list.
I'll see if I can dig the patch out - maybe with some hindsight I
can sort out the nigglies I had then :-)
