Dear Bug Team!
While I won't want to rule out that this is just a symptom of me being
no Einstein, I have the impression that the handling of the ascent of
images is inconsistent.
In particular, it would appear to me that an image that has its
glyph-baseline set to 100% is apparently _not_ placed just above the
baseline, but is rather hung down from the absolute height of the line
in question. In the case where the height of that image (or the
largest image in the line) is smaller than the height of the current
row, this looks awkward.
However, this effect is not consistent but more or less appears to
affect predominantly taller images in a line. As soon as they have
nontrivial descenders (and consequently a baseline of less than 100%),
the effect is not so noticeable. So it would appear that some
confusion of maximal image and maximal line height (which differ when
letters are also present that are taller than the highest image) is
involved here, getting things mostly right, but often being off by one
or two pixels.
The results look somewhat shabby and staggered. I want to make some
new screen shots with XEmacs and preview-latex, but it seems like I am
stuck between smaller fonts (where this effect shows really badly) or
larger fonts (where XEmacs-21.4 chooses to fill in Latin-1 characters
from some visually incompatible font for some reason). Either screen
shot looks like presenting a toy not suited for serious work, an
impression I would want to avoid to make as an avid fan of XEmacs.
With the given screenshot, take a look at the letter "d" before the
red cursor. It is typical for the effect.
