Description:   Opened: 2008-10-02 07:10
DESCRIPTION:
If you use the same font in the same size:
* through the different methods loadFont() and createFont()
* and either place it at a point (x,y) or into a text-box (x,y,width,height)
* with different vertical (Y-axis) alignments,
you get 6 different results!!!

Hence for me, working with text() is currently more or less trial and error.

I am not sure whether this is a bug, or has some reason.
If this particular behaviour is intended, then please someone add an explanation here and to
the respective reference pages.

ENVIRONMENT:
Processing 0148, MacOSX 10.4.11, Java 1.5.0_13

CODE:
See attachment for code and screenshot.

Have you read the reference to textAlign() closely? Nothing in your example
seems particularly out of place, outside of the fact that native fonts vs
bitmapped fonts may be reporting a slightly different textAscent() value,
which is affecting placement slightly, but is not something we can fix.
