If there is any confusion about flash text-metrics, you can take a look
at the ref for "TextLineMetrics" [1], which explains how flash treats
text-height (especially the 2px-gutter).
From "LzTextSprite.prototype.getTextHeight":
* This is the height of a single line of text in the current format
* *NOTE: this is not the clip textHeight, which "when autoSize is true
* is always 4 pixels less than _height" (which might explain the need
* for emulate_flash_font_metrics in DHTML?)*.

This is surely fallout from r9824 which was to fix the computation of
getTextHeight (c.f., LPP-4651). So, either I got that fix wrong, or,
apps were compensating for that measurement being wrong and now look
wrong because the measurement is right.
Feel free to ping me if you have questions, but perhaps you should
start by reviewing r9824 to see if you can spot an error. Max did
review it, Henry it is still awaiting your review, and Don, feel free
to chime in!
