Wolfgang, Aditya, thank you both very much!
I have 2 more questions:
Observe the files here:

1. I'd like to shift the text area down so that the red lines align with
the blue lines (I think this amount is called depth). How would I do that?
2. The font is such that exactly 2 characters fit into the grid cell, but I
see that towards the end of the line it gets out of sync with the grid. How
would I ensure that all text rendered is strictly monospaced without any
stretching/shrinking trickery?
Sincerely,
Stefan
