FontMetrics

A pango.font_metrics.FontMetrics structure holds the overall metric information for a font.

The information in a pango.font_metrics.FontMetrics structure may be restricted to a script. The fields of this structure are private to implementations of a font backend. See the documentation of the corresponding getters for documentation of their meaning.
