Define height in a row of a grid manager

Dear all,

I am trying to optimize the screen space use in a small screen QVGA mounted on a RPi

On the first row (using the grid manager) I display the time with big fonts.
The space allocated for the row includes, correctly includes the descent of the font
however in the case of numbers its an empty space. So its loosing a lot of useful screen space there.

Is there a way to force the height of a single row in the grid manager to be equal to the font ascent only?

Thanks in advance
Vasillis
