Hello Antti-Juhani,

nice to hear from you again, even if it's a bug report :)

The font you're using has a bit exotic font metrics: some
punctuation characters, including the asterisk at the
bottom, have negative depth. This leads to incorrectly
calculated page boundaries, hence the assertion failure.

I'm not sure yet how to handle negative depth (and, for that
matter, height and width) best. I'll think about it.

Thanks for reporting,

Bjoern
