For the purpose of drawing characters from a secondary, substitution
font, one must know whether one must rescale bbox to bbox, or X-height
to X-height etc. Currently I use a very brain-damaged do-it-quickly
scheme (only BMP matters so far):
my $nobaseline_blocks = <<EOB; # Do not need alignment on baseline; align on bounding box

What do people use in “real life” applications?
Thanks,
