Dear Robert
I'll try your suggestion of a font editor, but if you have an example
you can send me, that would be useful.
Best wishes
Paul
PS. When I clicked reply this seems to have gone directly to you
instead of to the group. There's no reason to conduct the discussion

I haven't thought about that but I will now you suggest it. This
problem is certainly font-variable.

The solution is to get a good font editor (I use FontCreator
v5.6 -- but any one will work) and adjust the metrics. Raise
the Line Gap by a substantial amount, maybe 300-400 units. All
the descenders will display perfectly. If you want, I'll send
you a sample (like Verdana Regular) to demonstrate the effect.
Alternatively, if you want to use those fonts but not mess with
the innards, put a whole bunch of func MUs on a key, like 15 or
20 of them, to shove the screen up every once in a while?
