[Laszlo-dev] Font Height Issue

[Aaron Nicholson]

Hi there. I'm new to this group, but I work with Ben at co+optual.  
I'm the infamous designer.
I've got this little issue with text being clipped off on the bottom.  
Decenders get whacked right at the baseline of the text. This only  
seems to occur when I use a true-type font, but it happens even with  
Vera, which is bundled with Laszlo. I can compensate for it by  
setting the height att to the text size plus a few pixels, so it  
appears the metrics are not configuring properly. This isn't a great  
work-around when dealing with multiline text though, as you might  
imagine. Any ideas?
Thanks a bunch,
Aaron
