Try putting a capital Å or any other capital with accents in your example, and 
you will see that it fits snugly.

Though it should be noted fonts are a bit inconsistent in what they consider 
their heights, some use the capital-height as their height, some use the 
maximum including accents. I believe we normally always render text with the 
leading on top, so there is room for all the Latin-1 characters and the 
results are always the same.
