RE:bug 548 graphics '*' (PR#549)
A little more followup. The gtk() device uses gdk_string_width to
find the character extents. That seems undocumented anywhere in the
gtk+ sources. It is returning the maximal descent for the font for all
input strings on my system. Looking at the current gtk+-1.2.7 sources it
appears to call XTextExtents, and that _should_ give the
string descent.
Since gdk fonts are private opaque structures
