hi,

as already said in another thread i am going to tweak the metrics a bit. 
for that i need help on following issues:

- there are several metric entries, which ones exactly are used by 
freetype or other important renderers in linux?
- can you provide me with samples with the following text in sans, 36pt 
(note the line break)? i'd like to see mac and linux in comparison to 
windows.

- most windows applications (including uniscribe) apparently ignore line 
gap entries. word is the only notable exception. is the same true for 
mac and linux programs?
- are vera and dejavu displayed the same in respect to line height?

thx,
gee fung
