================================================================ 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. ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux tweety.build.redhat.com 2.6.9-1.906_ELsmp #1 SMP Sun Dec 12 22:58:08 EST 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux ./configure 'i386-redhat-linux-gnu' '--prefix=/usr' '--datadir=/usr/share' '--docdir=/usr/lib/xemacs-21.4.17/doc/' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--libdir=/usr/lib' '--mandir=/usr/share/man/man1' '--with-gpm=yes' '--with-sound=native' '--with-pop' '--mail-locking=lockf' '--with-clash-detection' '--debug=yes' '--with-mule=yes' '--with-canna=yes' '--with-wnn=yes' '--with-xim=xlib' '--with-database=no' '--with-postgresql=no' '--with-ldap=no' '--with-hesiod=no' '--with-athena=3d' '--with-widgets=athena' '--with-menubars=lucid' '--with-scrollbars=lucid' '--with-dialogs=athena' '--with-msw=no' '--with-xfs=no' '--pdump' XEmacs 21.4.17 "Jumbo Shrimp" configured for `i386-redhat-linux'.
