Based on information available in the FontForge I now see that the
descender that's been returned is the "Win Ascent", which is the
ascender metric for Windows -- whatever that means.

How can I get the _true_ ascender/decender at a given scale?

Dear List,
I've written a bit of code to rasterizing fonts at any arbitrary size as
follows:
#define FONT_HEIGHT 18
FT_Size_RequestRec req = { FT_SIZE_REQUEST_TYPE_BBOX , 0 , FONT_HEIGHT *
64 , 0 , 0 };
CHECK_STATUS( error , "Request size rec" )
FT_Request_Size( face , &req );
CHECK_STATUS( error , "Request size" )
Oddly, face->ascender always has the same height. Why is this the case?
I need the ascender in order to locate my rasterized font in the
requested box (of max size FONT_HEIGHT).
