The relation between the font size and the text height is determined by
the font designer; usually, the given size is the *smallest* line height
you will want to use for the font you get back. See Ned's post for a

There's no code for this in current PIL releases.
The following module might help; it's a work-in-progress for AggDraw,
but should be fairly easy to adapt to both PIL and your requirements:
