title: Java: Getting a font with a specific height in pixels
body: <p>It’s easy to determine the rendered height of a font using <code>FontMetrics</code>, but what about the other way around? How can I obtain a font that will fit into a specific height in pixels?</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>"Give me <code>Verdana</code> in a size that is 30 pixels high from ascender to descender."</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>How do I ask Java for this?</p>
