Summary:
When using iOS 6’s attributed text on UILabel to define a text shadow, and setting the label to shrink its text if it would not fit, the text shadow that is drawn clings to baseline of the un-shrunken text.

In addition, the shadow is not scaled down, either. Instead, it is drawn in the unadjusted font.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a label that scales down its text if it doesn’t fit.
2. Set the attributed text to something like this*:
    14.999.259 €{
        NSColor = "UIDeviceWhiteColorSpace 0.25 1";
        NSFont = "<UICFFont: 0x17043650> font-family: \"HelveticaNeue-Medium\"; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 24px";
        NSKern = 0;
        NSLigature = 0;
        NSParagraphStyle = "Alignment 2, LineSpacing 0, ParagraphSpacing 0, ParagraphSpacingBefore 0, HeadIndent 0, TailIndent 0, FirstLineHeadIndent 0, LineHeight 0/0, LineHeightMultiple 0, LineBreakMode 4, Tabs (\n    28L,\n    56L,\n    84L,\n    112L,\n    140L,\n    168L,\n    196L,\n    224L,\n    252L,\n    280L,\n    308L,\n    336L\n), DefaultTabInterval 0, Blocks (null), Lists (null), BaseWritingDirection -1, HyphenationFactor 0, TighteningFactor 0, HeaderLevel 0";
        NSShadow = "NSShadow {0, 1} color = {UIDeviceWhiteColorSpace 1 1}";
    }

*this is the description of the NSAttributedString in use.
3. Constrain the label’s width to less than the preferred width for this string.

Expected Results:
The text, and its shadow are displayed nicely.

Actual Results:
The shadow is rendered in the unscaled font, offset from the unadjusted baseline

Regression:
Didn’t work on 6.0, either :-(
