I put into some iOS 9 app (Xcode 7.0)  4 UILabels.
All have Clip Subviews = off, font size 96 with a coloured background, text 
plain = “ฟี้กุฎุมพี”.

The difference is the font:

System: ok (but is too bold for my taste)
Thonburi and Thonburi Light: bottom get cut off 
System Light: bottom gets cut off rather much

System also uses Thonburi as font substitution.

With Clip Subviews = on the characters get clipped to the coloured background, 
which is even worse.
Note: some characters go well beyond the descender line (as specified by the 
font) and also above the line height.

How can I get a UILabel which does not maim my characters?
(Another question would be: how to get a background which covers all of the 
characters. But this is not important to me right now)

These UILabels are ultimately meant to go into UITableViewCells (without 
coloured background).

Gerriet.
