I'm thinking you instead have a problem with font metrics.

I copied your snippet locally, simplified it (I don't think you need the 
block containers, unless the height of the area is important to you) and 
continually had problems until I changed the font.  The moment I changed 
the font to something available on my machine, everything fell into place.

My code is below.

>Do you have some tipps or can explain this attributes?

Could you please try using a font like "Arial" just to see if another font 
does what you wish?  I think there is a disconnect between the font 
description, the software knowledge of the metrics and the rendering of the 
font.

>sorry for my ugly english!

I'm envious because it is better than my non-existent German!

I hope this helps.
