Hi Michael,

you're right, the default y position is not referred to the baseline but to the upper left corner of the text. I initially referred it to the baseline but that is not the default used by the current drawtext filter, so I thought it would be better to keep compatibility with the current filter. I'm open to both solutions: if I refer the y parameter to the text baseline, than the current default can be achieved using the expression:

y = <value> + top_a

being "top_a" a new variable I'm introducing with the meaning "maximum ascent of the first line". If I keep the current default, than what you're asking can be obtained using:

y = <value> - top_a

I'm new to the ffmpeg devs community so I'm not sure whether it is preferred to keep backward compatibility or to change the behavior in the name of a better interface.

What do you think?

Thanks
Francesco

Hi Francesco,

in my opinion the line spacing looks good. But there is still the problem that the y position of the baseline depends on the height of the characters in the first line. You see that when you switch between your pictures line_height_net_arial.pngĀ  and line_height_new_arial2.png. I know that it can be corrected by specifying the y position as "40-ascent" for example. Is it possible to make that the default?

Michael
