 * When the tagline is displayed beneath the site title at the top of the page, 
   those characters which have a bit below the line (such as: q p g y j) get part
   of the bit below cut off.
 * See [http://christiancanoe.co.uk/](http://christiancanoe.co.uk/) for an example.
 * Is there a fix to this?

 * Hi hendosdad,
 * You should change the line-height off .site-description class in your css.

 * Changing it to line-height off didn’t work.
    In the end I settled for line-height:
   1.15
 * Thanks for your help otherwise I wouldn’t have known where to start.
 * Also stumbled on margin-top: 0; and padding-top: 0; which served to bring the
   tagline a little closer to the site title.

 * Although I have a fix, is it really resolved unless the theme is changed otherwise
   everyone who builds a website with this theme and displays a tagline containing
   certain characters will get this problem.
 * Sorry if this sounds picky but I’m thinking of novices who aren’t familiar with
   css and who are wanting to quickly build a site without the need to get technical.

 * As long as you made the CSS change in a child theme, the new CSS will not be 
   overwritten if Twenty Twelve is updated.

 * I did the CSS changes in a child theme.
 * My concern is that unless the theme itself is changed someone developing a new
   site who doesn’t know about CSS and child themes will not be able to resolve 
   this problem.

 * That is correct. You would need to give WordPress instruction to anyone who may
   continue developing the website – unless they are already familiar with CSS implementation.
