I've a hand script font two show the effect: "Edwardian Script ITC" http://designgraphics.org/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=getit&lid=103

Labels and TextBoxes are styled with

-fx-font: 30pt "Edwardian Script ITC";

I align the label and textbox with baseline:

    Label labelNode = new Label(label);
    GridPane.setConstraints(labelNode, 0, row);
    GridPane.setHalignment(labelNode, HPos.RIGHT);
    GridPane.setValignment(labelNode, VPos.BASELINE);
    
    TextBox textNode = new TextBox();
    
    GridPane.setConstraints(textNode, 1, row);
    GridPane.setHalignment(textNode, HPos.LEFT);
    GridPane.setValignment(textNode, VPos.BASELINE);
    GridPane.setHgrow(textNode, Priority.ALWAYS);
    GridPane.setColumnSpan(textNode, 2);
    

In the attachment you can see the wrong baseline alignment.
