| struct SimpleFontMetric | 
|  | 
| 
Descriptiondescribes the general metrics of a certain font.
  | 
| Elements' Summary | 
| Ascent | specifies the portion of a lower case character that
 rises above the height of the character "x" of the font. | 
| Descent | specifies the portion of a letter falling below the baseline. | 
| Leading | specifies the vertical space between lines of this font;
 it is also called internal linespacing. | 
| Slant | specifies the slant of the characters (italic). | 
| FirstChar | specifies the code of the first printable character in the font. | 
| LastChar | specifies the code of the last printable character in the font. | 
| Elements' Details | 
| Ascent 
| short Ascent; 
 
Descriptionspecifies 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. The ascent is measured in pixels, thus the font metric is
 device dependent. |  | 
| Descent 
| short Descent; 
 
Descriptionspecifies the portion of a letter falling below the baseline.
 
 For example, the letters 'g', 'p', and 'y'
 have a descent unequal to 0. The descent is measured in pixels, thus the font metric is 
 device dependent. |  | 
| Leading 
| short Leading; 
 
Descriptionspecifies 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. |  | 
| Slant 
| short Slant; 
 
Descriptionspecifies the slant of the characters (italic).
 
 The slant is measured in degrees from 0 to 359. |  | 
| FirstChar 
| char FirstChar; 
 
Descriptionspecifies the code of the first printable character in the font.
  |  | 
| LastChar 
| char LastChar; 
 
Descriptionspecifies the code of the last printable character in the font.
