Hello all! I've been a happy latex user for some time. I always came to the forum to take some help, but this time I can not find a solution to a problem that torments me. Hence the question to you:
I use \chemfig package for printing arrow with some text/graph above/below. When I write a word that has: j, y, p, g, q it is aligned with this local letter - and I would like words to be globally equated, is there any solution? There is no problem in the text as far.
Code for an example:
\schemestart
\textbf{Mesh}\arrow{->}[0, 0.5]\textbf{Import Mesh}\arrow{->}[0, 0.2]\textbf{ICEM CFD}
\schemestop \newline
All "Import Mesh" is a bit higher then the rest. Could some one help me with this?

It's a function of where the arrows are anchored. In this case, the defaults are (.east--.west), but the text is vertically centered on the entire letter, not on the baseline, so you're getting what looks like misalignment. You can use
chemfig documentation for more information about anchors.
\arrow(.base east--.base west)
to get the base lines aligned, but that puts the arrows at the bottom instead of the center. See section 5 of the

thank you for your answer.
The presentation contains some useful information that helped me solve my other problems.
Aligning the line to the bottom is a good solution, but not a solution that satisfies me ... in some cases which i use is even worse then before...but if I add an hidden character such as: y, p, g? it would help ad hoc maybe

As i suppose, \phantom{j} do the job
. Not quite an elegant solution, but always some
