Given a BaseFont object, how can I determine the font descent (maximum extent below the baseline) in points? The BaseFont class contains a static constant DESCENT member, but I don't see how this can be the real descent for every font regardless of size. It has a value of 3, but I'm not sure what unit that is in.
The PdfContentByte.setTextMatrix seems to appropriately position text relative to the baseline, but I can't figure out how to position a subsequent line so that (for an arbitrary font and size) it will be directly under the text (containing characters like "y"). ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
