FontHeight:Int32

Returns: The height of a character in pixels.

Description

The height in pixels of a character of the current font, as set by SetFont. Use it to place lines of text below each other.

Differences

• The height is the height that was requested, as with Windows fonts. For a font that is not found, the built-in bitmap font is used, where FontWidth is the same number.
