text height without ascender and descender

Is it possible to teach matplotlib to calculate text heights without ascender
and descender? If I use a comma to print decimal values (german notation) it
looks awful but the "center of gravity" is not the median. Matplotlib use
the center of the full text height (included ascender and descender
height)....
