           Summary: Graphics.DrawString alignment inconsistent with .NET
                    (and Expectation)

           Product: Mono: Class Libraries
           Version: 2.4.x

C# Source code as mentioned

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4

When using Stringformat.Alignment and Stringformat.LineAlignment to draw a
string to a bitmap, the position of the drawed text ist not as expected and as
in .NET.

Additionally, positioning differs heavily between horizontal and vertical
drawing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install same TTF font on Linux/Mono and Windows/.NET (I chose "Linux
Libertine", but you can use any font you like)

2. Use the attached MonoDevelop Project and C# code to create FontBug.exe -
this is a small program, that draws text to a bitmap and then saves the bitmap
as PNG

3. Run FontBug.exe on Linux/Mono and Windows/.NET, compare output
Output from Ubuntu 10.4/Mono 2.4.4 and Windows XP .NET 2.0 are attached
Actual Results:  
Positioning of text differs between the two

Expected Results:  
Bitmaps are identical

I suspect, that this poses a severe restriction on the usability of Mono for
Reports
