Much needed feature for typography! The biggest pain is when I need to visually vertically center a text with an icon. If you have an [ICON] followed by upper case character (e.g. Hello), the (H) will always visually look too high to be vertically centered with the [ICON] because the actual height of the text that is calculated always account for hanging characters like "g, y", etc.

It's such a pain, there was a fantastic hn submission not long ago about the struggles with vertical centering.
