One simple thing that could diminish the impact of a too small space
to show all glyphs would be to not only show complete glyphs but also
glyphs that are cut by the rectangle in NSString's -drawInRect:, and
let them be clipped by the clipping rectangle. Most places where
strings are cut because of one or two pixels, the cutting would not be
perceptible, or at least would be better than what we currently have.
