    I just spent a good three minutes of my life swearing as I tried to size a some logo text, using one of the tall letters in it to dictate the height. A 'k'. Set a rectangle to the height I want, then scale the text to fit, should be easy, right? Except every time I sized it, I'd direct select the k to check its value and it would report being 2mm higher. Wat? Ok, I've done something wrong. Rinse, repeat, same result. Wat? Rinse, repeat, same result. Wat? Rinse, repeat, same result. Wat? Break entire wordform apart and re-build, Rinse, repeat, same result. Wat? Swear lots. Rinse, repeat, same result. Wat?

    Zoom out a wee bit and then realise the foot on the k descends under the baseline like the rounded letters do. 2mm under.

    Stupid cunt.
