I don't see any problem if the user simply chooses a font with wildly different metrics. Then it is their fault. The main problem is and that makes me very sensitive to this issue is that I see the world out there at 1600 x 1200 @ 120 dpi. Poorly designed development environments (like Visual Basic and Delphi) and incompetent web developers specify their fonts in pixels rather than in real physical units (most obviously, points, when speaking about text). This means that something 10 pixel high that is legible on their smaller resolution monitor requires reading glasses on mine. And it's not my fault, it's theirs: Windows has the built-in mechanism to compensate for different screen characteristics. They'd only need to comply with established standards. So, the only solution I can suggest is to make your text boxes long enough, as long as possible without overlapping another UI element. This will help with localization as well.
