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.

For an overview of the most important metrics, see:
