I've gone beyond just making a little suggestion now and then. In fact 
I'm probably outright annoying in bugzilla, from the engineer's 
perspective.

I tend to take a shotgun approach to bug reporting. So I've found some 
legitimate bugs as well as a lot that have been deemed unimportant or 
non replicable. I guess it's up to Mark or whoever at Runrev at 
separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak.

RR: it's not that I try to be annoying or have anything against any one 
of you. You all are great. I simply want the best care and feeding of 
the product. And all the little bugs are the ones that add up to form 
the user's overall impression.

Interesting concept

textFont and textHeight definitely are - as they should be. Otherwise 
we would have to compute the leading on their own each time. There's 
got to be other examples.
