the formattedHeight of a field

I don't understand this.

I have a field.

the height = 85
the borderWidth = 2
The font is "Courier New", 11 pt, bold
Don't wrap is true.
The htmlText shows no per char formatting.
the fixedLineHeight is true or false
the margins = 8
the showFocusBorder is false


For 10 lines of text I get this:

the formattedHeight                  ==> 168
the formattedHeight of char 1 to -1  ==> 140
the formattedHeight of char 1        ==>  14

Que Pasa?

168 - 2 - 2 - 8 - 8 = 148

What are the other 8 pixels?  The TD says the focus border is counted 
in the margins and besides it is off.
