Align text baselines

@lindentree 

Perhaps this (script) solution could also be interesting for you, although unfortunately it only works with Pointtext.

see here:

Adobe Illustrator | Align different sized text to the bottom of the text baseline 

Currently Adobe Illustrator has no true alignment commands that align the first or last baselines of a point or area text object to another object, be it a geometric vector object or another text object. You can use Smart Guides to manually drag a text object and make its baseline snap to something else. But that is not the same as merely selecting a text object, clicking another object and then clicking an alignment command button (or keyboard shortcut) to instantly relocate the text object to the desired position. If you're wanting to align or distribute multiple text objects in reference to their baselines the act of manually dragging the text objects can turn into a time-wasting chore. 

I have made feature requests to the Illustrator UserVoice forum about this. Other users have requested it as well. I've also pointed out that certain rival graphics applications (such as CorelDRAW) have had such a feature for many years. I would suggest visiting the Illustrator feature requests sub-forum there and either write a feature request or vote for one of the other posts where users have made similar feature requests. I think the Illustrator development team is aware of such requests and it is on their to-do list. But I have no idea if or when the feature will be added. I suppose if enough Illustrator users make enough noise about it we'll finally see the feature added.
