PgFont.getMetrics

Gets overall metric information for a font. Since the metrics may be substantially different for different scripts, a language tag can be provided to indicate that the metrics should be retrieved that correspond to the script(s) used by that language. If font is NULL, this function gracefully sets some sane values in the output variables and returns.
