I'm having a problem with TextView and would appreciate some help
finding out what I might be doing wrong.  (Or if this is in fact an
Android problem, a workaround :-)

If the first letter of text in a TextView is capital "J", the first
pixel or two are cut off so that the "J" starts looking a bit more
like an "I".  If I set the gravity to, say, "center", the "J" looks
OK.  Setting layout_marginLeft or paddingLeft to a non-zero value does
not help.

If you would like to see this effect for yourself, the easiest way is
to create a default generic Android project and change the "hello"
text to something like "JJJ".

Thanks for any help you may be able to give me.
Brian.

PS: I just typed in "JJ" into the search widget of the generic Android
Browser and its got the same problem.  OK, so maybe it's an Android
bug.  Anyone have an idea for a workaround?  I could stick a space in
the front of all initial "J"s, but that's, um..., a little
distasteful.
