Yep. You are understanding it correctly. It is _essentially_ doing the same
thing as GetTextDimensions(). But it uses TextLayout (my personal preference)
instead of FontMetrics. It also returns a little more detail: "ascent",
"decent" and "leading". Though those values could be added to
GetTextDimensions().
Out of curiosity, I tried getSimpleStringMetrics() with "BakerSignet BT Roman"
and it actually returns the same results as ImageUtils.cfc. At least it does
once you make the code changes I mentioned in my previous response ;-)
