PdfFontMetrics Class

This class contains tools for measuring text that is to be placed in a page in a PDF document. Concrete versions of this class are constructed behind the scenes for client code. It is unlikely that client code would ever need to create or construct a concrete version of this class. FontBounds, Ascent, Descent, and Leading are measured in PDF font design units, in which glyph coordinates are laid out in a design grid that is 1000 units by 1000 units. In practice, glyphs will go outside this grid for descender and for glyphs that project to the left (swashes, for example). To convert these numbers to a particular point size, use this formula: final size = (size in PDF design units x font size in points) / 1000
