It seems Word 4.0 has an extremely basic bug regarding
displaying of fonts.  Namely, it ignores the "leading"
field in the font description.  Leading (pronouced "ledding")
is the amount of space between the lowest descender of
any character in the font on one line, and the highest
ascender on the next line.  Typically, the leading of
a font is at least 1 (pixel), in order to guarantee
that characters on adjacent lines never touch.
Word always uses zero value for the leading, so sometimes
characters on adjacent lines do touch.  

Can anyone confirm this bug? 
Here is one way to reproduce it:  in Word 4.0, select Geneva,
any size and type a line of "y"'s.  Hit return and on the
next line type several <option-A>'s.  Look closely
at the two lines.  There should be a one pixel space between
bottommost pixels of the y's and the topmost pixels of the
<option A>'s.  If not, then that's the bug.

Sheesh, even the lowly MacWrite handles this correctly.
