    *  When joining a single line of text to the top of a circular

    *  part of the arc.

    *  I'm using type1 fonts and ATM.  Increasing the leading
    *  doesn't help.  This only happens at large point-sizes and
    *  only with some fonts (mostly share-ware cursive style
    *  fonts).
    
Possibly the bounding box information in the font is bogus -- that
could cause the problem you're seeing.
