ggggeeeettttddddeeeesssscccceeeennnnddddeeeerrrr returns the maximum distance (in pixels) between the
baseline of a character and the bottom of the bitmap for that character.
Each character in a font is defined using a bitmap that is displayed
relative to the current character position. Vertical placement of each
character is done using the current character position as the baseline or
the line on the page. The portion of a character that extends below the
baseline is called a descender. The lowercase characters g and p
typically have descenders.
