Created attachment 11251 [details] the problem as seen in google chrome On hindi wikipedia, wherever a reference is present in a line, that line seems to be slightly higher than lines without references, i.e the superscript seems to increase line height slightly. Example: see http://hi.wikipedia.org/s/43g Though not a functional problem, this is annoying. Also, it seems to be happening cross-browser, and does not seem to depend upon whether WebFonts is active or not. I have seen this in 22.0.1229.94 m, firefox 15.0.1, opera 12.01, IE8 and safari 5.0.3 with Windows 7 Home Basic X64.
Setting sup.references line-height to 1 makes it less worse, but the only way I could get it fully resolved was by adding: sup.reference { position: absolute; line-height: 1; } which probably isn't a good solution.

I've added sup.reference {line-height:1;} to the Common.css for now. http://hi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%A1%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%BF%3ACommon.css&diff=1943654&oldid=1922969
Is this still a problem? We improved the line-height handling somewhat per bug 49965.
(In reply to Bartosz Dziewoński from comment #3) > Is this still a problem? We improved the line-height handling somewhat per > bug 49965. Tested at https://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/स्लोवाकिया in google chrome Version 33.0.1750.154 m in Windows 7 X64 It seems the problem is fixed for the plain text (article content). Even adding position:aboslute doesn't seem to make a difference there. However, in the infobox, in the line: - Date 1 जनवरी, 1993[1] adding position:absolute to sup.reference styles using the chrome dev tools does seem to slightly decrease the line-height. Changing the line-height:1 to line-height:0 also seems to slightly decrease the line-height, but again only in the infobox. Also, per bug 49965 , can sup.reference {line-height:1;} be removed from the common.css which was added per comment 2 ?
