bug#5465: 23.1.91; Tooltips lose descenders in Windows 7

[Francis Wright]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing 
list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give
a recipe starting from `emacs -Q':

Start emacs with the -Q option. Use the Options menu to set the default font 
to Lucida Console. Lay the mouse pointer over any button on the
toolbar. The descenders are missing from all the letters. The same applies 
to menu tooltips.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file
c:/Emacs/emacs-23.1.91/etc/DEBUG.

That was over 9 years ago.  Are you still seeing this in a modern
version of Emacs?

Best regards,

I don't see it on the current master, and I think this problem was
fixed long ago, in commit 39321b9 as part of fixing bug#7398 (which is
a duplicate of this one).

Closing.

I don’t recall seeing this problem for a while and I don’t see it on Emacs 26.3 on Windows 10 on my current laptop. So I’m happy that this has been closed.
