[xep-support] Alignment of text in blocks

[Robert Goldsmith]

Hi All,

Just a quick question in case anyone has had this problem before and  
found a good solution :)

I have an fo:block within which I have some text. This text varies in  
length but not greatly so I use some simple xsl to vary the font size  
to maximise the space in the block. I also align the text to the  
bottom of the block - and this is where I have the problem. As the  
font size increases, the space left for descenders obviously increases  
as well and this makes the baseline for the text change and this  
doesn't look great across multiple pages.

So, does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix the baseline of  
some text within a block so that no matter what the font size is, the  
text still 'looks' like it is in the same place? In my head I have  
been thinking of this as somehow specifying the font baseline be a  
certain distance from the bottom/top of the block or possibly forcing  
the baseline to the bottom edge of a block and allowing overflow or  
something similar.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Robert
