I didn't realize this was for a single-line entry. Emulating an
entry with a text is probably more effort than it's worth.
For font height, I used (font.ascent + font.descent). I don't know
just what font.height() uses; the font I'm using (the default?) gives
the following:
font.ascent = 11
font.descent = 3
font.height(string.letters) = 12
My guess is that font.height() returns the height for the only for
the specific string you pass in, while the .ascent and .descent values
represent the limits for all characters in the font.
