The change is needed because PNG_put_text uses png_state.charh to compute t=
he position of text.  The effect of this is most noticeable when using a fo=
nt different from the font used with 'set term png'.  The example below use=
s TTF fonts.  I have used sized to exaggerate the problem.  The label shoul=
d be centered vertically at 0.  Without the fix the bottom of the label is =
just a hair below zero.  Below is my test script.

------
set term x11 persist
set style line 98 lt 1 lw 1 lc rgb 'magenta'
set style line 99 lt -1 lw 3 lc rgb 'cyan'
set grid back ls 98
unset key
set xr [-60:60]
set yr [-60:60]
set border front ls 99
png =3D 1
if (png > 0) set term png tiny truecolor butt nocrop size 500,500

if (png >0) set out 'plot-gd-font.png'

if (png < 1) set term x11 2

set title "2D PLOT" font "luxirr,8"
set lab 1 "MY LABELXXXXXXXXX" at 0,0 center font "luxirr,24" offset 0,0 fro=
nt=20
