struct SimpleFontMetric


Description
describes the general metrics of a certain font.


Elements

short Ascent
Description
specifies the portion of a lower case character that rises above the height of the character "x" of the font.

For example, the letters 'b', 'd', 'h', 'k' and 'l' have an ascent unequal to 0.

ascent is measured in pixels, thus the font metric is device dependent.

short Descent
Description
specifies the portion of a letter falling below the baseline.

For example, the letters 'g', 'p', and 'y' have a descent unequal to 0.

descent is measured in pixels, thus the font metric is device dependent.

short Leading
Description
specifies the vertical space between lines of this font; it is also called internal linespacing.

The leading is measured in pixels, thus the font metric is device dependent.

short Slant
Description
specifies the slant of the characters (italic).

The slant is measured in degrees from 0 to 359.

char FirstChar
