Have a look at the enclosed snapshot (my apologies for the size of it;
I wouldn't have posted anything more than 200k). The RHS is the 'old'
and the LHS is the 'new'. The xterm's title bar represents the
baseline as positioned for the first glyph of the diagonal groups in
'old'. IMHO, it is well-positioned for those first glyphs.

OTOH, when looking at 'new', this baseline is not correct for the last
glyphs of the diagonal groups. I do not see a baseline which would
match all the words, esp. the last two words.

If you wish, I can post a drawing showing _my_ placement of them.

ali
