Bug Description
Binary package hint: python-imaging
#!/usr/bin/env python
"""Demonstrate a bug in Python Imaging Library.
Summary: PIL font renderer cuts off descender of some TrueType fonts
The FreeType font loader in the _imagingft component of
python-imaging does not always render the entire glyph.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Download FinkHeavy.ttf from
http://
2. Copy it to the .fonts folder in your home folder.
3. Run this Python program.
Expected result:
The bottom of the 'g' is round, as it appears in other programs.
Actual result:
The bottom of the 'g' is flat; the bottom has been cut off.
Unlike python-imaging, SDL_ttf does not have this problem.

I've also caught it chopping off ascenders and the first glyph in a line.
