I am trying to get my broker display to properly display multiple icons with text mixed in. Here is what I have tried:

|T<path>:<width>[:<height>:<xOffset>:<yOffset>]|t

First I tried leaving width=0 which should make the icon the same size as the text but the icons seem considerably smaller than the text. On the plus side they stay lined up nicely though and don't seem to "climb".



Next I tried adding custom icon size and x/y offsets which makes the icon size controllable and they look better (to me) but if I add more icons and text they "climb" Seems like the text is attaching to the upper right of the icons instead of the center.






Using the y offset I can get the text and icons to line up but then they are higher on the display mod than other text (using dockingstation) So is there any way to change that attachment point or am I missing something?

Here is my function to update the broker text object:

function mod:UpdateBrokerText()
    local icons
    local text = ""
    for _, itemid in ipairs(db.sortedtext) do
        if ItemInfo[itemid] then
            local data = ItemInfo[itemid]
            text = text .. "|T" .. data.icon 
            if db.customicon then text = text .. ":" .. db.texticonsize .. ":" .. db.texticonsize .. ":" .. db.iconx .. ":" .. db.icony .. "|t" 
            else text = text .. ":0|t" end
            local color
            if data.count < data.max then color = "|c00FFFF00"
            else color = "|c0000FF00" end 
            text = text .. color .. data.count .. "|r"
            icons = true
        end
    end
    if icons then
        mod.obj.text = text
    else 
        mod.obj.text = ""
    end
end

Yeah just being a perfectionist I guess lol.

Below is an excerpt from Blizzard's FrameXML/LFGFrame.lua:

local tankIcon = "|TInterface\\LFGFrame\\UI-LFG-ICON-PORTRAITROLES.blp:16:16:0:%d:64:64:0:19:22:41|t";
local healerIcon = "|TInterface\\LFGFrame\\UI-LFG-ICON-PORTRAITROLES.blp:16:16:0:%d:64:64:20:39:1:20|t";
local damageIcon = "|TInterface\\LFGFrame\\UI-LFG-ICON-PORTRAITROLES.blp:16:16:0:%d:64:64:20:39:22:41|t";

--Horrible hack to deal with a bug in embedded font strings. FIXME
--The more icons with absolute sizes in a certain fontstring, the higher up the text goes. This offsets it to make the icons be in line with the text.
local numRoles = (isTank and 1 or 0) + (isHealer and 1 or 0) + (isDamage and 1 or 0);
local yOffset = 2*(numRoles-1)-2;	--Formula derived through testing.

local tankIcon = format(tankIcon, yOffset);
local healerIcon = format(healerIcon, yOffset);
local damageIcon = format(damageIcon, yOffset);	

It seems the hack is related to your issue.

Yeah I gave up and went with width=0 and a config so users could try the other way if they want lol.
