[comp.sys.sgi] Help with fonts

Help!

For font manager fonts, what is the equivalent to
	getheight()
   and  getdescender() ?
I was hoping for something like: long getheight(fmfonthandle), but there
doesn't seem to be such a thing. 
I'd guess the way to do this is to get a fm info structure and peek inside. I
can't quite figure out what the fields mean. 
	Is height the height above the baseline or the total?
	Is yorigin the height of the baseline above the bottom?

Thanks,

	Mike
