[reportlab-users] PATCH: Using font ascent to position string content in tables

[Matt Folwell]

In ReportLab 2.2, platypus paragraphs have started to read the ascent 
from the font to work out where to put the text' baseline.

I think tables should do the same for cells that contain a string, so 
you can switch between the two without the text moving, all other things 
being equal.

Here's a patch to do that, and a script to generate an example PDF 
containing a table with strings in one column and paragraphs in the other.
