Hi!
I have notices that Emacs will render some fonts under Mac OS X one
pixel too tall.
The current implementation for handling fonts under NextStep always
round the descender to the next full integer, to avoid clipping. (As
descenders under NextStep are negative, this is done using the
function "floor"). Unfortunately, some fonts do not specify the
descender as exactly as desired. Concretely, a 6x8 bitmap font could
report a descender of -2.0000040531158447 (represented by
0xc000000220000000), which Emacs rounds to -3. The result is that the
font will be drawn one pixel taller than expected.
The patch below is one example of how to handle this, it will
circumvent the problem by adding a small value to the descender,
making sure that values close enough to an integer will be rounded to
that integer.

* nsfont.m (nsfont_open): Ensure that fonts with inexact
descenders would not become one pixel too tall.
