A member of that team told me that for much of the project the implementation of the function to calculate the height of a line of text, which is a very complication operation involving fonts, sub- and super-scripts, etc., was implemented as "return 12;" (that was the entire body of the function) and it was marked as "DONE". With a bug of course but we can fix the bugs later

So true. And width, and how many characters fit on a line. The list goes on.
