/**
* A class holding helper functions for determining
* the screen dimensions of fonts.
*
* The geometry is the standard typographical geometry,
* as follows :
*
* --------------+------------------<maxAscent
* | |
* <-------> (right bearing)
* <-> (left bearing)
* char ascent>___ |
* ^ oooo | oooo
* origin>____ | oo oo | oo oo
* \| oo oo | oo oo
* --------------+---ooooo--|--oooo-<baseline
* | oo |
* char | oo oo |
* descent>______| oooo |
* <- width ->
* --------------+----------+-------<maxDescent
*
* Caution: All char_type and docstring arguments of any method of this class
* are no UCS4 chars or strings if the font is a symbol font. They simply
* denote the code points of the font instead. You have to keep this in mind
* when you implement the methods in a frontend. You must not pass these
* parameters to a unicode conversion function in particular.
