Re: pstext: minor issue

It is true that the text should not overflow the box (and don't know how 
hard would be to implement a check for sub|superscripts), but you can 
fine tune by playing with the -C option

*-C*/dx/dy/
    Sets the clearance between the text and the surrounding box [15%].
    Only used if *-W* or *-G* are specified. Append the unit you want
    (*c*m, *i*nch, or *p*oint; if not given we consult
    /PROJ_LENGTH_UNIT/ <cid:[email protected]>) or % for
    a percentage of the font size.
