If it's Verdana then I doubt it's the font - my problem was with Channel 4's custom font (you'd think they'd have spent some money getting someone to create it correctly).
If it's only descenders getting cropped then have you tried outlining your text boxes to see if there's anything going on there? - how are you setting the style on the textfield - TextFormat or Styles?

It's verdana, 11, bitmap text (no anti-alias). I'm stuck with this due to brand guidelines. Any other ideas?

I've had a similar issue with ascenders in the past rather than descenders but turned out to be a dodgy font.

I've played about with the line spacing and indenting but to no avail. I thought it would be a simple fix but nothing I'm doing is working. Any ideas?
