<![CDATA[Anchors problem with several texts]]>Hello,

I try to align text fragments of different sizes (point). I thought if I anchor 2 elements at the top of each other, they would start at the same y-value. But it seems in texts there are existing special rules. The following example shows what I intend to do.

@
Rectangle
{
width: 360
height: 360

Text
{
     id: t1
     x: 50
     y: 40

     text: "A"

     font.family: "Verdana";
     font.weight: Font.Normal
     font.pointSize: 40
}

Text
{
     id: t2

     text: "B"

     font.family: "Verdana";
     font.weight: Font.Normal
     font.pointSize: 20

     anchors.bottom: t1.bottom
     anchors.left: t1.right
}

Text
{
     id: t3

     text: "C"

     font.family: "Verdana";
     font.weight: Font.Normal
     font.pointSize: 10

     anchors.top: t2.top
     anchors.left: t2.right
}

}
@

Edit: fixed code indentation for improved readability; Andre

Edit: fixed image tag. Image tag gets screwed if you don't enter an alternative text; Andre

It works like expected for the first 2 letters. So thank you again!

But while t1 and t2 are sitting now on the same baseline, I still don't see a way to align t3 to the "topline" of letter t2 (both letters start on the same y-value). I tried something like this for t3:

@
anchors.baseline: t2.baseline
anchors.baselineOffset: -( t2.paintedHeight - paintedHeight )
@

But don't work.

If the goal is to have the different sized texts all "sitting on the same line", you should be able to use anchors.baseline.
