<cut>

I made a hack with following markup:

<span rise=\"-%d\"> <span rise=\"%d\"> <span rise=\"0\">

I calculate value of rise form font. Ugly solution, but works ;) Btw. Is 
EM unit in pango the same as described here: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Em_%28typography%29 ?

If so how can I get it? Atm. I just make layout with single space 
character and read values from there (another hack).
