sf::string [1.6] is there a built in way to find height?

[alwayslearning]

What I am looking for is a means to finding the height where it includes the tail parts of symbols like q,p,g, etc.  The only way I can see doing that is to push all possible symbols onto the string and getting it from the rect.  Which doesn't sound like the right way to go about it.

Is there a simpler way?

Hi

You can call Font::GetGlyph and then use the Rectangle member of the glyph to get its bounding rect.

Ok, so this is the design, let me know if an improvement can be made:

//Iterate 1 -> 255
   // find the glyph with greatest height

//= Get String Size / Font CharacterSize * glyph height

Looks good
