Description stefan.baltzer 2009-01-20 14:01:55 UTC 
- New Writer document
 - Set font to "Helvetica"
 - Type "äöü ÄÖÜ"
 - Use different zoom levels and edit at the start of the line
-> In my case, at 200%, the "top dots" do not get painted/repainted => ÄÖÜ looks
like AOU
-> When editing, sometimes the dots vanish, sometimes they are painted outside
the text area (and stay while "their" letter is moving. This is funny at least :-)

The relevant OSX documentation says:
ascent: The maximum height from the baseline to the ascent line of the glyphs in the font. For vertical 
text, the maximum distance from the center line to the ascent line of the glyphs in the font.
descent: The maximum distance from the baseline to the descent line of the the glyphs in the font. For 
vertical text, the maximum distance from center line to the descent line of the glyphs in the font.
leading: The spacing from the descent line to the ascent line below it. This defines the spacing between 
lines of text

so we interpret the leading value provided by OSX as the external leading. For Helvetica there seems to 
be some ink (the dots) inside that external leading though. Not sure how to proceed.
@fme: is extending the line clipping bounds to an additional external leading a simple workaround?
