public void get_glyph_extents (Glyph glyph, out Rectangle ink_rect, out Rectangle logical_rect)
Gets the logical and ink extents of a glyph within a font. The coordinate system for each rectangle has
its origin at the base line and horizontal origin of the character with increasing coordinates extending to the right and down. The
macros PANGO_ASCENT, PANGO_DESCENT, PANGO_LBEARING, and PANGO_RBEARING can be used
to convert from the extents rectangle to more traditional font metrics. The units of the rectangles are in 1/PANGO_SCALE of a device
unit.

public FontMetrics get_metrics (Language? language)
Gets overall metric information for a font. Since the metrics may be substantially different for
