Hi Francesco,

I think the y position of the baseline should be independent of the 
content of the textfile.
For example, you might want to change the color in the middle of a text. 
That can only be done by invoking drawtext two times. To make sure that 
both texts share the same baseline, the workaround with y=40-ascent has 
to be used. In my opinion same baseline position should be the default.

The question remains if the y option refers to the baseline or to the 
top of the text (assuming the text contains a full height character). I 
would prefer the latter.

Backward compatibility or better interface? I vote for better interface.

Michael
