I would propose that the "Use Preview Bounds" should use the text outline boundaries, the same way it does to other graphic objects. Or, possibly even add an additional setting just for text (Use Text Preview Bounds)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01795570164435872662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20113929.post-1156440632021584162006-08-24T13:30:00.000-04:002006-08-24T13:30:00.000-04:00It might be worth noting that the reason Adobe use...It might be worth noting that the reason Adobe uses the full text layout box for alignment instead of the box that bounds the text outlines is that by far the most common use of horizontal text alignment is to align multiple point text objects <I>to each other</I>, such as rows of column labels, and in those situations, while one text object may not have any descenders (or with lowercase, may have no ascenders), it may be getting aligned to another text object that does have those elements. And in that situation one nearly always wants their baselines to be aligned, not the bounding boxes of their outlines.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20113929.post-1156428553378628692006-08-24T10:09:00.000-04:002006-08-24T10:09:00.000-04:00Hey..
