How to calculate the additional space of a character's height and width

[singh.abhinandan]

Hi,
I am using TextRenderer.MeasureText() method to calculate the height and width of a character. result comes with additional space added in height (top and bottom both sides) as well as in width (left and rght both sides). How to calculate this addtional space height so that i can get the actual word height and width by substracting the additional space.

TIA
Abhinandan

From the documentation on MSDN2:

"the default behavior of the TextRenderer is to add padding to the bounding rectangle of the drawn text to accommodate overhanging glyphs. If you need to draw a line of text without these extra spaces you should use the versions of DrawText and MeasureText that take a Size and TextFormatFlags parameter. For an example, see MeasureText(IDeviceContext,String,Font,Size,TextFormatFlags)."

thank you...
It works for side padding only.There is nothing for the extra space on top and bottom. Could you please help me in that regard.
