Help!
For font manager fonts, what is the equivalent to
getheight()
and getdescender() ?
I was hoping for something like: long getheight(fmfonthandle), but there
doesn't seem to be such a thing.
I'd guess the way to do this is to get a fm info structure and peek inside. I
can't quite figure out what the fields mean.
Is height the height above the baseline or the total?
Is yorigin the height of the baseline above the bottom?
Thanks,
Mike
