No problem. Some APIs like SWT use the top-left coordinate of the string bounds for their drawing operation. (Which only works, though, if the string bounds are based on the maximum height a string can have in the given font, not on the actual height of a particular string...) I thought maybe you mixed up another API. :-) In any case, his original code would have worked only for extremly small font sizes where the ascent is below 5 pixels height. Otherwise the font would have been cut off at the top. Or maybe he did not use the view bounds, but some modified rectangle layouted somewhere inside the view with room above.
