Returns the total advance width for showing the specified array of bytes in this Font.

  Returns the total advance width for showing the specified array
of bytes in this Font. The advance is the
distance from the leftmost point to the rightmost point on the
string's baseline. The advance of a String
is not necessarily the sum of the advances of its characters.
This is equivalent to measuring a String of the
characters in the specified range.
Returns: the advance width of the subarray of the specified byte array in the Font described by this FontMetrics object.
Parameters:
- data - the array of bytes to be measured
- off - the start offset of the bytes in the array
- len - the number of bytes to be measured from the array
Throws:
- NullPointerException - if data is null.
- IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the off and len arguments index bytes outside the bounds of the data array.

See Also: FontMetrics.getMaxAscent(),

  Determines the font descent of the Font described by this FontMetrics object.

  Gets the standard height of a line of text in this font.

  Gets the standard height of a line of text in this font. This
is the distance between the baseline of adjacent lines of text.
It is the sum of the leading + ascent + descent. Due to rounding
this may not be the same as getAscent() + getDescent() + getLeading().
There is no guarantee that lines of text spaced at this distance are
disjoint; such lines may overlap if some characters overshoot
either the standard ascent or the standard descent metric.
Returns: the standard height of the font.
See Also: FontMetrics.getLeading(), FontMetrics.getAscent(), FontMetrics.getDescent(),

  Determines the standard leading of the Font described by this FontMetrics object.

  Determines the standard leading of the
Font described by this FontMetrics
object. The standard leading, or
interline spacing, is the logical amount of space to be reserved
between the descent of one line of text and the ascent of the next
line. The height metric is calculated to include this extra space.
Returns: the standard leading of the Font.
