I have never known about this font -- very stylistic indeed. :)<br>
<br>
While there are plenty of strokes that go well above the cap height
or below the baseline, the Win Ascent and Win Descent values (which
are defined as yMax for all glyphs and -yMin for all glyphs,
respectively) in the metric tables are valid - none of the glyphs
violate these limits, so the patch doesn't affect this
(correctly-formatted) font.<br>
<br>
I loaded it up in Wine's Notepad, both with and without my patch,
and took screenshots of the output:<br>

I even did a pixel-by-pixel comparison: they render the same!<br>
<br>
Sadly I can't make any comparisons to how Windows would handle the
font. My Win XP VM complains about the ttf being corrupt. Is there a
similar font that will work on Windows that I could try?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
