Pixel Fonts for Chat

I am having some issues finding a good pixel font for the chat frames.

I really like Pixel Arial (http://www.dafont.com/pixel-arial-11.font) but the problem I have with it is that the bottom of the font gets cut off. For instance the bracket symbols ( [ ] ) will be missing the lower 2-3 pixels of the character. Also I have to use SetSpacing to correct line heights for readability. This then causes target icons to look like superscript because they get pushed up by this setting. All in all, the result of both of these issue is ugliness.

I like Pixel Arial because it is not all caps, it is not tiny tiny, the kerning is great and it has all the special characters like (for example, "ä").

Has anyone else out there found a viable pixel font for chat?

I have tried many many others and most just don't look right, are missing characters or just don't render in WoW.

All suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks.
