So am I and I'm not seeing the same baseline being used. Not that I think
it will help, but you are missing telling us about one attribute:

The following FO file that I tried to create from your last message clearly
is not using the same baseline on the resulting screen ... could you please
check this against your generated FO file?
Or can you try the file below directly in XSL Formatter without a
stylesheet (this methodology was how I learned a lot of XSLFO, just by
trying things out ... my book hyperlinks to the specification so I used the
initial skeleton of hyperlinks in my own book to learn the language to fill
out the book).
If the text below doesn't look like your text, then perhaps there are
ancestral inherited attributes you aren't telling us about?
