Rev 2.1.x on Windows (and Windows distributions built from either MacOSX or Windows versions of that revision) pushes the line of text up beyond the top of the field as soon as you specify a font and size. Clicking the "fixed line height" moves the text down but only a few points - not enough to rectify the problem.
Barry, could this be the issue? Windows fonts are not scalable. MacOS fonts are. On MacOS you can select any textHeight and the result will look OK. On Windows, the selected textHeight must be valid for that particular textFont. Otherwise, what you will see is: the textHeight will increase to correspond to the new textSize (like 14pt leading for 12pt font), but the characters being rendered will not change size; they could remain at say, 8 pt. The end could appear as you describe.
I filed a bugzilla report about font size/leading-lineheight issues. bugzilla #469. Scott Raney responded about the Windows fonts not being scalable - so it wasn't a bug.
BTW there is a fontSizes function- to check this very issue. However I haven't experimented that much on windows to see which if any fonts are scalable or not.
