label

The following xaml looks fine in XP, but the bottom of the text gets cut off in Vista and Windows 7.

<Grid>
    <Border Height="86"
            Margin="10,54,10,0"
            VerticalAlignment="Top"
            BorderBrush="Black"
            BorderThickness="1"/>
    <Label Height="22" 
           Width="100"
           Margin="15,43,0,0" 
           VerticalAlignment="Top" 
           HorizontalAlignment="Left"
           Background="White">Text Over Border</Label>
</Grid>

I realize that I could just increase the Height of the label, but I'm guessing I'll have problems with systems that have different resolution settings, or large text settings. Is there a better way to lay this out?
