How can I find out how high a letter is when using a particular font? I am trying to place the center of capital letters at a specific location. The javadoc for FontMetrics says that getAscent() returns the distance from the font's baseline to the top of most alphanumeric characters, but that doesn't seem to be true. For example, Font( "Serif", 1, 32 ) (serif font, bold, 32-points, its FontMetric getAscent returns 33, but the height of every capital letter is 21 pixels. I have also tried to use the strikethroughOffset, but that is not in the center of capital letters either. -- Fred K
