			get_approximate_char_width
				
				 () 
			
				
					 : 
					gint32
					
				
			
		 Gets the approximate character width for a font metrics structure. 
			
				Gets the approximate character width for a font metrics structure. This is merely a representative value useful, for example, for determining the initial size for a window. Actual characters in text will be wider and narrower than this.

			get_approximate_digit_width
				
				 () 
			
				
					 : 
					gint32
					
				
			
		 Gets the approximate digit width for a font metrics structure. 
			
				Gets the approximate digit width for a font metrics structure. This is merely a representative value useful, for example, for determining the initial size for a window. Actual digits in text can be wider or narrower than this, though this value is generally somewhat more accurate than the result of pango_font_metrics_get_approximate_char_width() for digits.

			get_ascent
				
				 () 
			
				
					 : 
					gint32
					
				
			
		 Gets the ascent from a font metrics structure. 
			
				Gets the ascent from a font metrics structure. The ascent is the distance from the baseline to the logical top of a line of text. (The logical top may be above or below the top of the actual drawn ink. It is necessary to lay out the text to figure where the ink will be.)

			get_descent
				
				 () 
			
				
					 : 
					gint32
					
				
			
		 Gets the descent from a font metrics structure. 
			
				Gets the descent from a font metrics structure. The descent is the distance from the baseline to the logical bottom of a line of text. (The logical bottom may be above or below the bottom of the actual drawn ink. It is necessary to lay out the text to figure where the ink will be.)

			get_strikethrough_position
				
				 () 
			
				
					 : 
					gint32
					
				
			
		 Gets the suggested position to draw the strikethrough. 
			
				Gets the suggested position to draw the strikethrough. The value returned is the distance baseline of the top of the strikethrough. 
 | Pango.FontMetrics | |
| 
			get_strikethrough_thickness
				
				 () 
			
				
					 : 
					gint32
					
				
			
		 Gets the suggested thickness to draw for the strikethrough. 
			
				Gets the suggested thickness to draw for the strikethrough.

			get_underline_position
				
				 () 
			
				
					 : 
					gint32
					
				
			
		 Gets the suggested position to draw the underline. 
			
				Gets the suggested position to draw the underline. The value returned is the distance baseline of the top of the underline. Since most fonts have underline positions beneath the baseline, this value is typically negative.

			get_underline_thickness
				
				 () 
			
				
					 : 
					gint32
					
				
			
		 Gets the suggested thickness to draw for the underline. 
			
				Gets the suggested thickness to draw for the underline.
