Face.
bbox
¶ The font bounding box. Coordinates are expressed in font units (see
units_per_em
). The box is large enough to contain any glyph from the font. Thus,BBox.y_max
can be seen as the ‘maximum ascender’, andBBox.y_min
as the ‘minimum descender’. Only relevant for scalable formats.Note that the bounding box might be off by (at least) one pixel for hinted fonts. See
Size_Metrics
for further discussion.
