field - character display behavior

[l'[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

I use a field type object as a text entry field.
if I don't shorten the mbr.lineheight, the text entered is echoed below its 
baseline.
If I shorten the lineheigth then the p,y, q are shopped at the bottom.

Is there a way around that problem?
 mbr.rect = rect(0,0,(MAX_TXTWIDTH),14)
    mbr.boxDropShadow = 0
    mbr.boxtype = #fixed  -- #limit -- #fixed
    mbr.margin = 0
    mbr.border = 0
    mbr.autotab = false
    mbr.editable = false
    mbr.wordwrap = false
    --    mbr.lineheight = 13
    mbr.alignment = "left"
    mbr.color = glProps.rgbWhite
    mbr.bgcolor = glProps.rgbBlack
    mbr.font = "Arial"
    mbr.fontstyle = "plain"
    mbr.fontsize = 12
    mbr.text = infoText

Thanks
Laurie
