Bug Description

Problem occurs with:
Visual Studio 2008 with ClearType on and bold for keywords
gVim, Windows XP
PyScripter
Sublime Text 2

Does not occur with:
Firefox
WordPerfect X5

The bottom of the fonts are not aligned. When bold font is not used, the bottom of fonts are still not aligned but not so visible. The same also happens with other applications such Vim.
