The font class provides a width method to determine the width of a character but how do I figure out the height of a character?
Background: In my quest to get all the inline dimensions right so any background/border/padding is correctly applied I am currently looking at leaders. For leader-style="dots" everything is basically user agent defined. Fop uses the dot character from the current font which is a sensible selection IMO. The bdp of the content-rectangle for a leader area is determined by the rule-thickness trait. In this case the rule thickness would be the height of the dot character. How do I figure that out? For the time being I will simply use the width of the dot character as its height. Manuel
