[Message part 2 (message/rfc822, inline)]
This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org mailing list
and the gnu.emacs.bug news group, and at http://debbugs.gnu.org.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug. If you can, give
a recipe starting from `emacs -Q':
Use Set Default Font... in the Options menu to select Lucida
Console. The descenders or tails disappear from lower case letters in
menu and toolbar tooltips. The characters seem to be cut off below the
text baseline. This does not happen with the initial default font, which
is Courier New. This is on Microsoft Windows 7.
If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
`bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file
c:/Emacs/emacs-23.2.90/etc/DEBUG.

I believe I solved this now (on emacs-23 branch; the trunk needs a
slightly different solution, due to bidi display, to follow shortly).
