I noticed this as well, like this screenshot proves:

I prepared my test case on the assumption that the bounding box was
wrong, but swing doesn't use the bounding box for rendering, so this
test case is not 100% correct.

Nevertheless, this made me look at what I believe it's the right thing,
because there I noticed that the leading was wrong.

I've uploaded a small test case, where only one font is tested, my
original test case let you select the font from a combo box list with
all the font installed, but because it had more swing logic, I felt like
it was too much distracting.

It's trivial to change this test to get a font name and size from the
command line, please tell me if you want me to do this.

Depending on the fonts on your system, you may see the same result or
not, so here is the image of what I get for reference:

On the right is OpenJDK.

Thanks,
Mario
