My best guess at the tme was that the effective modifier ignores the area
reserved for the maximum ascenders and descenders. Also char 1 to -1 worked
better than line 1 to -1 if I remember correctly.

There it is! "EFFECTIVE"!
Once I use Jacque's technique of omitting the margins by obtaining only
the formattedHeight of the text itself, and Ralph's astute awareness
that apparently it's possible to have a formattedHeight different from
an EFFECTIVE formattedHeight, all four versions of this algo adjusted
with those changes work well to produce the same good result.
Ralph, help me out here: under what circumstances would the
formattedHeight and the effectiveFormattedHeight differ for a range of text?
