Baseline bug??? was Cross-platform fonts...

[Frank Leahy]

Marian,

It's bug  
http://www.runrev.com/revolution/developers/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi? 
id=1856, please vote for it.

The characteristics are this:

1. create a bunch of different controls (fields, labels, checkboxes,  
etc.) and set them all to Arial 12 (not necessary, but you can see the  
effect on a cross-platform font this way)
2. make sure they all have some text in them.
3. line them up horizontally so that the baslines all match horizontally
4. place a horizontal line on top of them, at the baseline
5. move the stack to the PC
6. you'll see that all the fields/labels have moved up 1 pixel and the  
other controls have moved down 1 pixel relative to the horizontal line.  
  In other words, the baselines no longer match up.
