#31102 — What's the deal with fonts, anyway?

....as I understand it, fonts in modern browsers can be both bitmap and vector. So, what I wanna know is, for a given font, what's the maximum height a line is gonna take, for a given font size? (like, the tallest letters, say a "h" or "L")? ..... so that I know how many lines can fit on the screen...

How do I get the font height and the viewport height?

now THAT's a big naughty question, because the answer can be found using 
Google pretty simple/quick

That page, all of it as far as I could see, keeps talking about the font SIZE - I want the *HEIGHT* of the tallest letter - how do I get that? Are they the same thing?

...and what about the viewport height?


Thanks for your help.
