Getting Font Metrics in PHP

Question

I was wondering if there is anything in PHP that will get me different properties of a font like ascent, descent, leading, height, etc.

Something similar to FontMetrics class in java fount at:

I looked into imagettfbbox function (GD Library) but it wont give me all the properties I am looking for.

It would be good if you could give a short example of the function in question and use the English link for [php.net](http://php.net/manual/en/imagick.queryfontmetrics.php). – Jakob Runge Sep 09 '15 at 09:27

No, there is no built-in function that gives you that info. Have to get it by parsing the font file. Try googling "TTF parser PHP".
