What is the font Richmond is trying to use? Having played around a lot with
fonts in my early Mac days, I became aware that font foundries of lesser repute
may not craft their fonts properly. If the line height and leading is not set
to accomodate both the tallest ascender and the lowest descender can display
incorrectly.

I tried with a field set to zapfino (the most vertically expansive font I have)
14, text height 6.
I’m seeing that in LC 8.1.2 on Mac, that with the field fixed line height off
things look right, showing wide line height and no attenuation. With fixed line
height on, LC pushes all the text off the top of the field except for the
bottom line and part of the second line from the bottom--where I see the
descenders of the upper line overlapping the ascenders of the bottom line.
Setting the line height to fixed 30, again pushes the text up off the field
except for the last 1 1/2 lines—they are just spaced wider.
LC does have a problem with displaying this kind of text with fixed line height
on, but I’m not seeing the chopping off of text, but the pushing text up the
top of the field. With fixed line height off, it looks OK.
