Research direction
Investigate the existing textBaseline implementation in node canvas, likely in src/Canvas.cc or similar files. Review Cairo documentation for text extents and font options related to baseline. Examine any previous attempts or discussions in the issue comments. Propose a plan to handle ideographic and hanging baseline values, following the pattern of the existing alphabetic baseline.
