It's called the CSS specification. By default, in standards mode,
inline objects such as img are positioned on the font baseline,
leaving room below for descenders.
In many cases this can be avoided by using CSS to set vertical align
for img to "bottom" instead.
But in this case I'd have to counsel against using images that are
nothing more than images of text. This page is not only unfriendly to
unusual display situations, but fails a number of WAI criteria. Let
text be text, and propose a presentation using CSS. I don't care for
the look of the source code - if I had to deal with this I think I'd
rip out all the markup and start again using current good practice.
It looks like some relic from HTML3.2, complete with HTML syntax
errors (which is why I didn't bother to comment on it when originally
posted).
