FontMetrics.Descender Property

Gets the vertical distance from the horizontal baseline to the lowest character coordinate in a font face, in pixels.

Namespace: Aurigma.GraphicsMill.AdvancedDrawing
Assembly: Aurigma.GraphicsMill (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll)

Syntax

C#
public float Descender { get; }

Property Value

The vertical distance from the horizontal baseline to the lowest character coordinate in a font face, in pixels.

Remarks

Unfortunately, font formats don't define the descender in a uniform way. For some formats, it represents the descent of all capital latin characters (without accents), for others it is the ascent of the lowest accented character, and finally, other formats define it as being equal to the minimum y coordinate of the black box. This field is negative for values below the baseline.
