    Question Unusual Baseline Shift

    I am using DicotMediumRegular for a Logo (the TG one) as a practice.
    I find that the font on the page shifts down dramatically when Previewed or used on a website.

    I can Group with itself, Convert to Editable Shapes or Fit to Curve and it performs as expected but I then lose the rendering as a font.
    If I use Soft-Group or Separate Images for Groups or Name it htmltext, it shifts.

    Perversely, if I Name it htmlblocktext, it displaces up a small amount!

    It appears to be the Font itself as no other I have tried acts this way.

    Suggestions?

    Font - DicotMediumRegular - Baseline Shift.xar

    Default Re: Unusual Baseline Shift

    Do you think this has something to do with the embedded font description being off? The description I would guess has to tell the monitor where to render the fonts, what the dimensions of the characters are, etc.

    Thanks Gary, Xara reports;
    DicotMedium Regular - Installable
    The xr_fonts.css is:
    @font-face { font-family: 'DicotMedium';
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
    src: url("XaraWDGeneratedHTMLfont1.woff") format("woff"), url("XaraWDEmbeddedHTMLfont1.eot?") format("embedded-opentype"), local('DicotMedium');
    }
    So I believe all is correctly in place.

    I can code the position to be exact in CSS but this is not a viable solution.
