I have a Problem with the line height.

I'm thinking you instead have a problem with font metrics.

I want to render a Price Field
with some Add-On Informations,
but I don't found _a way to align the Price (9.999,-) on the top of the
green box_. So the lower part overlaps
the Ad-On Box.

There are some attributes that seems to do what i want (alignment-adjust
& alignment-baseline & baseline-shift & dominant-baseline) but i don't
understand the standard and i don't find a way by my onwn :|

I copied your snippet locally, simplified it (I don't think you need the block containers, unless the height of the area is important to you) and continually had problems until I changed the font. The moment I changed the font to something available on my machine, everything fell into place.

My code is below.

Do you have some tipps or can explain this attributes?

Could you please try using a font like "Arial" just to see if another font does what you wish? I think there is a disconnect between the font description, the software knowledge of the metrics and the rendering of the font.

sorry for my ugly english!

I'm envious because it is better than my non-existent German!

I hope this helps.
