I'm not sure what you were expecting this program to produce. For me,
it produces the words "Testing 123" with two horizontal lines. There
is some vertical space between the top of the "T" and the top line,
but this is expected for the Helvetica font.
Alignment of text on plots was just discussed in the past few days in
this newsgroup. Maybe the tips presented there could help you.
Good luck,
Craig
