FontInfo

#include <Quickdraw.h>

typedef struct { Size Offset Description

short ascent; 2 0 Height above base line

short descent; 2 2 Depth below base line

short widMax; 2 4 Width of widest character in the font

short leading; 2 8 Distance between lines

Notes: The FontInfo structure is used in calls to GetFontInfo.

When calculating where to start drawing the next line of a series, call

GetFontInfo and add ascent + descent + leading. Add the sum to the

current vertical coordinate.

The word "leading" is pronounced like "bedding" and derives from the ancient

method of setting type in blocks of lead (Pb).
