al_get_font_line_height(3)  Library Functions Manual  al_get_font_line_height(3)

NAME
     al_get_font_line_height - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS
	    #include <allegro5/allegro_font.h>

	    int al_get_font_line_height(const ALLEGRO_FONT *f)

DESCRIPTION
     Returns  the  usual  height  of  a line of text in the specified font.  For
     bitmap fonts this is simply the height of all glyph bitmaps.  For	truetype
     fonts  it is whatever the font file specifies.  In particular, some special
     glyphs may be higher than the height returned here.

     If the X is the position you specify to draw text, the  meaning  of  ascent
     and descent and the line height is like in the figure below.

		/\	   |	    |
