Steps to reproduce:

It would be very useful if you could implement ascent-override, descent-override, and line-gap-override.

Chrome supports it (tested on MacOS vs Windows).

Hi,

I've chosen a component for this bug in hope that someone may look at it. We'll await for their answer. If you consider that there's another component that's more proper for this case you may change it.

Regards, Flor.
