   I loaded a custom font (.ttf file) with the FontManager and got it working properly with a CCLabel except the bottom 1/4th of the longer letters (j, y, q, ect...) is getting cutoff. Is there a way I can prevent this from occurring?

   I see this too with a rather tall font. I havent figured it out yet.

   Are you sure this can't be solved by using the more verbose convenience method that takes a "dimension" property? Then make sure the vertical dimension is sufficient for the font.

   Yeah but then its not dynamic. You have to know the size of every label ahead of time.

   Adding to this thread, may help someone with who has a similar issue.
   I was getting clipping using a custom font with CCLabel using this method:

   + (id) labelWithString:(NSString*)string dimensions:(CGSize)dimensions alignment:(UITextAlignment)alignment fontName:(NSString*)name fontSize:(CGFloat)size

   with a multi-line (4 lines) sentence with dimensions of (260, 210).
   So I hacked CCTexture2D.m where I added some padding to the dimensions and moved the origin over (3,9).

   #if CC_FONT_LABEL_SUPPORT
   	uiFont = [[FontManager sharedManager] zFontWithName:name pointSize:size];
       if (uiFont != nil)
           [string drawInRect:CGRectMake(3, 9, dimensions.width + 4, dimensions.height + 7) withZFont:uiFont lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap alignment:alignment];

   So this worked for me. You may also have to adjust the labels positioning after this to compensate.
