问题
This is undoubtedly a stupid question but i'm having a bad day and it's confusing me!
If you view http://jsfiddle.net/E6kGP/1/ then you can see 2 simple divs next to each other each of which contains a p tag each with different font sizes and matching line-heights.
There is a small gap between the top of the p container and the top of the contained text which is different depending on the font sizes (and line-heights). This means that the top of the text in each p is not vertically aligned. If the line-heights didn't match the font-sizes then I could understand this but surely if they are the same then the line-heights should match the tallest character and hence the highest point of the first line should be the top of the p container? Obviously this can be hacked using padding/margins or absolute positioning but i would like to understand why this doesn't work by default and what the correct way is to fix it?
As requested by SO the code from jsfiddle is also below:
div {float: left; width: 50%;}
p {margin:0 0 1em;padding:0;}
#left p {line-height:36px;font-size:36px;}
#right p {line-height:16px;font-size:16px;}
<div id="left">
<p>

Thanks very much as ever everyone!

It might be to accommodate accented characters, try putting Ä into the first <p>, the extra space helps accommodate the accent. That said, I'm not 100% convinced that is the definitive reason.
You can always specifically target the first line of a <p> element to reduce it using:
p::first-line {
line-height: 0.8em;
}
Though granted, that doesnt solve the 'why' issue.

Like ExtPro has said, it's to accommodate accented characters. A simple work around is to have margin-top:-<number>px; so that you manually align it.
