I'm seeing many reports of unhappy users with failing watchfaces. Please fix this as soon as possible Garmin.

    Yes, there will be implications. It will break code that relies on correct reporting of the font ascent and descent, using Toybox.Graphics getFontAscent() and getFontDescent(). Back to my earlier example, the font height == 17, ascent == 13, descent == 4. After setting the base to 17, ascent == 17, descent == 0.
