RE: TextScript baseline in Dynamics context

[Daniel Rosen]

I mean, that is a possibility, but it’s pretty labor-intensive.
        
This should be a feature of, at the very least, the Dynamics context, IMHO. Am 
I right that this hasn't been requested before? (If I am I'll submit it to the 
bugs list.)
