Function ScaledFont.glyphExtents

Gets the extents for an array of glyphs. The extents describe a user-space rectangle that encloses the "inked" portion of the glyphs, (as they would be drawn by Context.showGlyphs() if the cairo graphics state were set to the same fontFace, fontMatrix, ctm, and fontOptions as scaled_font). Additionally, the x_advance and y_advance values indicate the amount by which the current point would be advanced by Context.showGlyphs().

Note that whitespace glyphs do not contribute to the size of the rectangle (extents.width and extents.height).
