Stop text background from changing in height

[IlGrande]

Hi

I' want to make some captions with a background, that does not change in height when using letters like "g" or "y". So it should only adapt when shorten or lengthen the text (one line). The problem is, that the height changes when using some specific letters (like "g", "y" or "p"). Is there a way to fix that?

Best regards

I don't see a way. I thought there might be by changing the size of the box. But no. Making the box a little larger makes it less noticeable, but still a problem.

Workaround: use a font that does not have descenders. But when I looked recently, there were not many.

Thanks for reply. Quite the bummer, that there is no easy solution for this problem...

Surely annoying, still searching for a workaround

As a workaround

Duplicate text and add the specific letter to bottom text.

For top text, use just the fill

for bottom text, just use the background

(might need to adjust the position of the background a little)

My personal workaround is inserting a j where there would be a space , and make it the same color as the background.

Doing this in every sentence without "long" letters makes  every box the same height.
