thanks for the hint, setting a quite high margin is what we use as a workaround 
currently.

I see this when the margins are too small to accommodate the ascenders of 
the font. What happens if you set the margins larger?

See screenshot, I even added a little generous offset to make sure the text

get cut off, but e.g. "Damascus Light" (and others) do not respect 
formattedXXX?



Any hints and workarounds very welcome!

It is different symptoms from this bug 
(https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=22882) but it could be 
related in the code?


I recommend filing a bug report and I will be happy to add a note 
connecting the two bugs. The more issues found surrounding "the 
formattedWhatever" functions, the more likely we may see action at 
fixing them sooner rather than later.

formattedwidth/height does not work with some fonts

Hi all,

looks like formattedheight/formattedwidth does not work with some fonts!?

See screenshot, I even added a little generous offset to make sure the text 
does not 
get cut off, but e.g. "Damascus Light" (and others) do not respect formattedXXX?


Any hints and workarounds very welcome!
