When ClearType is enabled on Windows XP, glyphs that fall outside the visible
area by one pixel cause their sub-pixel smoothing pixels to be *inside* the
visible area. Those pixels are pretty noticeable, since they're a different
color. I will attach a test case and a screenshot of how it looks on my screen.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".
This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.
While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

I have no idea how this all works, but it is probably Windows's job to avoid it. Depends if Windows knows where the viewable area ends, I suppose.

Confirming that it's Windows's job. Just noticed the same behavior in Forté Agent.
