Question - IDE WARNING: '~' extends beyond OnStageSerial's ascender

Hi,

Started using a new font called 'OnStageSerial'. It seems to work fine but when I run my game the output from VM shows this:

Generated font texture for 'font0' because non existed
WARNING: '~' extends beyond OnStageSerial's ascender...

What the hell is this!?

This is talking about the font's positioning of that character relative to the part that sticks out in letters like f and h. See: Ascender (typography)

As long as the font is working fine, you can safely ignore this warning.
 
I literally JUST encountered this problem. I had to uncheck "Copy to project" and then click "Regenerate" and then re-check "Copy to project" and re-acquire the file location and it seemed to fix the problem. Not sure if the current texture group has anything to do with it. I couldn't see any overage in the ascender or descender so I have no idea what went wrong. It seems to occur randomly. Switching rounding between floor, round, and ceil didn't seem to elicit any changes...
