It looks like the problem is that labels and fields are 1 pixel higher, rather than controls being 1 pixel lower.

My experience shows a lot of differences in fonts between Windows XP and OS X. A shift of a pixel is to be expected.


Here is the formattedHeight and formattedWidth of the word "Washington" in 12 pt Arial:

    Windows XP  14 X 66
    OS X        16 X 65

From those numbers, you can probably guess where the pixel is coming from.

And 12 point matches better than most.

When fixedLineHeight is false, the differences can be very noticeable for tall fields or with some fonts or sizes.

It baffles me that the same font and same size would layout differently on different systems. I would think the artsy types would be screaming.

It would be nice to have a way to have text look the same, even if it means using special fonts.

For cases like yours, it might be nice to fix the location of a label by base-line or mid-x or mid-X.
