fixedLineHeight = a great help

[Christopher Mitchell]

Thanks, ladies and gentlemen, for your tips here.

Dar, your list is scary... It's as if someone decided consciously to 
make sure that fonts didn't quite line up the same on the competing 
platforms.  Excellent resource though, and shows why weird things 
happen when you start using cross-platform fonts of that size (72pt)

fixedlineheight and adjustment of the lineHeight value has made a huge 
difference.  Thanks for pointing this out, even the Hebrew font looks 
reasonably well placed now!

exciting things ahead ... thanks to all of you!

Yours,
Chris
