The new font metrics api

Hi, just discovered the relatively new font metrics API and took it for a spin.

I was hoping it could replace my own font analyzer but it appears the data received doesnt add up when comparing with the height of actual text objects.

For example, if metrics tell me absolute height is 22 then i would expect a string with a line shift to have height 44, and 3 lines have height 66. It doesnt sadly, and taking leading into account makes no difference.

There should be a perfect correlation between reported metrics and the size of generated display objects for this to be of use, unless someone else know something about this which i have missed?
