The problem I've seen a few times is that sometime, you'll have a baseline
which is not actually representative of the field. When you start your
stroke, without you knowing, you will start it *outside* the field, which
will result in your letter not being recognized. In those cases, I usually
try to write slightly below the baseline so that all my strokes are started
inside the field. It doesn't matter if you go outside, but you have to make
sure you're starting it inside the field.
