I am working with multilingual text, and need the baselines in various text boxes to align. This is relatively easily done by setting the leading in each box to a comfortable absolute. But, since the first line appears in the text box based on the font/size character height, everything is off vertically by that amount--the difference in height between the various fonts.
I could swear that there used to be a way to have leading be absolute from the top of the text box, rather than have the position of that top line based on character height/character box. How is this done? I am hoping that I don't have to physically move the text boxes to align things. I assume this is something basic, but I have forgotten the correct vocabulary to find the answer quickly in the "help" files.
