--- Comment #7 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
Your last image is a good example why it doesn't work. Font designers can
decide where to place the baseline [1]. Liberation Serif, for example, is a
pretty good vertically centered font that you may use instead of the Liberation
Sans Narrow. FreeSans works too, and shows the drawback of this center
approach: Ģ (g-cedilla) expands slightly below the border. But for sure you
find a font that fits your taste for Taste :-).

Anything to add, Jonathan?
