Hi dgatwood;
About two years ago I spent a lot of time to find a method that worked with any model of Kindle. Even with a custom font, you can't get the perfect bottom alignment for all models (you can see the raised cap perfectly in e-ink devices but not in Fire models and viceversa
); the only way I found is to use an image. And in this case, the best kind of image is a svg. Of course, if we were working on epub, all this is not necessary since in epub we can control line-height (and as you well know, in Kindle we can't set a line-height lower than 1.2em).
Regards
