Getting the Characteristics of a Font
The FontMetrics procedure and the OutlineMetrics function both return font measurement information. The FontMetrics procedure returns the ascent and descent measurements, width of the largest glyph, and leading measurements for either a bitmapped or an outline font. The OutlineMetrics function returns measurements for text to be written in an outline font.
