Thanks for trying.  I appreciate it.

There seems to be more "dead space" above the text than below it. In
fact it looks like there may only be 2 pixels below but more than 2
above. I wonder if controlling the y alignment of the text might help?
The combobox properties list doesn't include a y-alignment setting but I
think I'll keep looking for a way to set it.
