Here's a bug that has always been in ATK since it first ran on X but that
I keep forgetting about.


fontdesc__StringSize(self, graphic, string, XWidth, YWidth)

When used with X, this method always returns a height (YWidth) of zero.
A better approximation would be to set the height to the maximum height
of a character in the font.
