Each character box has a set of guide marks to help you position the character. The middle one is called the baseline, and is the line on which a letter usually sits. Some letters, such as 'g' or 'q', descend to the descender line. Uppercase letters typically have their highest point on the ascender. It's okay for accents to reach slightly above the ascender, but if you go too far you risk having your characters cut off. It's therefore recommended to keep your characters within the ascender and descender portion of the boxes.
