More correctly put, the bounding box for the character set was indeed being properly generated (via J3D and Aviatrix3D), however, the “y” component of the bbox was not being utilized in the glTranslate(x, y, z) call just before drawing.  “Y" was clamped at zero causing text to appear as “vertical justify minor BEGIN" no matter what was called for.  There is still some hackiness in the fix, but the characters now appear to be rendering at a better offset than before.

I can only claim to be standing on the shoulders of the giants who implemented these wonderful tools
