Bug report: PIL font management clipping tops of characters

Such as the circle atop the characters: å Å, used in Angstrom.

Sample code & graphic output below.

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from PIL import Image, ImageFont, ImageDraw

titleFont=ImageFont.truetype('HelveticaBold.ttf',32,encoding='unic')
size=(128,128)
image=Image.new('RGB',size,(0,0,0))
draw=ImageDraw.Draw(image)
teststr=unichr(0x00e5)+unichr(0x00c5)
textsize=draw.textsize(teststr,font=titleFont)
xposition=0
yposition=textsize[1]
draw
.text((xposition,yposition),teststr,font=titleFont,fill=(255,255,255))

image.save('fonttest.tif','TIFF')




Thanks,
Tom
