This is a variation on the spacing-with-descenders question seen here and elsewhere. I inherited some legacy TeX and don't actually know TeX, but I can run it fine, with this exception. The code combines input text with an image and spits out trading cards; almost none of it is typeset as text with automatic line spacing. Everything's position is specified in coordinates instead. The line relevant here generates the name at the top of the card:
\newcommand{\CardName}[1]{\node[text width = 5cm, align=left] at (3.54,8.605){\Large #1};}
If there's other relevant code elsewhere in my file i'm not sure what it is, sorry.
The name at the top of the card visibly wiggles up and down depending on ascenders/descenders:
The solutions to this problem given in other questions depend on the text having its position/spacing set by the software relative to other text and so don't apply to my use case. How can I edit this code to specify the position of the text's baseline and put all the titles on the same height?
