Comment(by bernie):

 I've been told that TTF fonts have a "nominal" height
 that tells how tall *most* glyphs normally are.  This
 value affects vertical line spacing and is supposed to
 make it look good.

 Individual glyphs are also allowed to extend above and
 below the bonding box.  One example should be the
 "integral" symbol.

 Some word processors dynamically adjust line spacing in
 these cases.  TeX sure does.

 Widgets are fixed size, so they can't adjust.  It's not
 really a bug in the toolkit and it can't be easily fixed
 without scanning all glyphs and rendering them to see
 how high they turn out to be.
