Syntax
public int getHeight()
Returns
the standard height of the font.
Description
Gets the standard height of a line of text in this font. This is the distance between the baseline of adjacent lines of text. It is the sum of the leading + ascent + descent. There is no guarantee that lines of text spaced at this distance will be disjoint; such lines may overlap if some characters overshoot either the standard ascent or the standard descent metric.
