macslow: I remain unconvinced that the fix is as appropriate or simple
as perceived; where's another screenshot taken with a much larger-sized
font settings (32pt, still 96dpi).  In this case the baseline has 12
pixels below and 14 pixels above the cap-height, which 4 pixels below
the descenders and 11 above the ascenders.

It's far more likely that the error (in indeed this is any) is being
introduced from hinting or rounding, and if so shifting it at the
drawing stage with a heavy one-pixel hammer may not actually solve
things across the board.
