I would like to see the behavior centering text vertically in gschem changed. Right now, it uses a function of the inked rectangle. So, when centering the words "hello" and "goodbye" vertically, each winds up with a different y coordinate for the baseline, because of the descenders. I would rather text was centered between the baseline of the bottom row of text and the cap height of the top row of text. This way, the baseline of text would be centered vertically, on a pin for example, regardless of wether the text contains descenders or not. The only way I know to obtain the cap height is to measure it. For example, measuring the inked rectangle from a capital letter with a flat top, like H or I. Does anyone else have thoughts on centering text vertically? Ed
