Variable cairo_font_extents_t.height

the recommended vertical distance between baselines when setting consecutive lines of text with the font. This is greater than @ascent+@descent by a quantity known as the line spacing or external leading. When space is at a premium, most fonts can be set with only a distance of @ascent+@descent between lines.
