The problem is due to an old version of fontforge. In Debian, version 
0.0.20041218-0.1 generates incorrect ascent information for the Windows font 
header. Version 0.0.20051205-0.1 gets it right. For Debian users, 
0.0.20051205-0.1 is only available in testing and higher. Unfortunately 
0.0.20051205-0.1 depends on other things from testing (such as libc6 >= 
2.3.5-1), so if you want to build on a pure Sarge system you will need to 
either do without fontforge, build it yourself, or find a backport somewhere.
