What exactly are you seeing different between Panther and Tiger? I've
not noticed any changes except Tiger seems to have fixed a bug that
caused all text drawing to ignore the baseline of fonts.
So if you used Comic Sans MS as your font in an NSButton, the bottom
would be chopped off. However, it still doesn't properly account for
baselines when using drawAtPoint: on an NSString/NSAttributedString.

Apple uses slightly different system fonts with each revision in OS X. I
have a table of NSTextFields that looks very nice in Tiger, but I forgot to
leave extra space because in Panther the same text at the same font size,
using the "system" font, takes up more space.
