Align the text of two \PsTextFrames horizontally

Question

Suppose I have two \PsTextFrames that share y-coordinates, but have different x-coordinates, like the following:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{pst-all}
\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}(0,0)(5,2)
    \psset{linewidth=1pt}
    \psTextFrame(0.5,0.5)(2.5,1.5){\large\textbf{Left}}
    \psTextFrame(1.5,0.5)(3.5,1.5){\large\textbf{Right}}

\end{pspicture}
\end{document}

Is there a possibility to have their letters be aligned horizontally? The letter »g« in »Right« makes the whole word rise, because it has a »cellar«. In »Left« there is no letter with »cellar«. A single instance like this may be done manually, but I have a larger picture where a lot more frames hang together. Changing them all at once would be feasible.

Answer 1

As a workaround you can patch the \psTextFrame command to include vertical phantom characters, to ensure that each frame has the same height. A vertical phantom character is a character with zero width (so it is not printed or added in any way to the pdf) but that is still allocated the height of the character, so LaTeX will make the box bigger vertically.

MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pst-all}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\psTextFrame@i}{#3}{\vphantom{Xq}#3}{}{}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}(0,0)(5,2)
    \psset{linewidth=1pt}
    \psTextFrame(0.5,0.5)(2.5,1.5){\large\textbf{Left}}
    \psTextFrame(1.5,0.5)(3.5,1.5){\large\textbf{Right}}

\end{pspicture}
\end{document}

Result:
