Of course, it does: you've just made Emacs ignore characters which
have non-zero ascent and descent.

More importantly, it will display characters with ascent or descent
incorrectly clipped.

Like this:

  it->max_ascent = max (it->max_ascent, it->ascent);
  it->max_descent = max (it->max_descent, it->descent);

IOW, it's the max value of ascent and descent of all the characters on
that screen line.
