Align the baselines of two nodes placed side by side
I have the following code with two nodes:
documentclass[crop,tikz]standalone
begindocument
usetikzlibrarypositioning,calc
tikzstyleblock = [draw, rectangle, minimum height=1cm, minimum width=1cm, outer sep=0pt]
begintikzpicture
node [block,align=center](A) shortstackdouble \ type ;
node [block,align=center,right=1.5cm of A](B) shortstacksingle \ type ;
endtikzpicture
enddocument
Because the content of node A has no "long" character that ranges below the baseline, the distance between the two lines is closer than in the second node B. There, the "g" character ranges below the baseline and therefore it seems that additional space is used and the two blocks are not aligned.
I could fix that by including a vphantomg into node A. However, that would make the line spacing large in both blocks.
Instead, I want that the line space is small, just as if there were no characters that range below the baseline.
Is it possible to somehow "ignore" these characters?

You should just smash the [b]aseline of those words/phrases:
documentclassarticle
usepackagetikz,amsmath
begindocument
usetikzlibrarypositioning,calc
tikzstyleblock = [draw, rectangle, minimum height=1cm, minimum width=1cm, outer sep=0pt]
begintikzpicture
node [block,align=center](A) shortstackdouble \ type;
node [block,align=center,right=1.5cm of A](B) shortstacksmash[b]single \ type;
endtikzpicture
enddocument
amsmath provides the extended version of smash.
