title: Measuring text height to be drawn on Canvas ( Android )
body: <p>Any straight forward way to measure the height of text?
  The way I am doing it now is by using Paint's <code>measureText()</code> to get the width, then by trial and error finding a value to get an approximate height. I've also been messing around with <code>FontMetrics</code>, but all these seem like approximate methods that suck.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to scale things for different resolutions. I can do it, but I end up with incredibly verbose code with lots of calculations to determine relative sizes. I hate it! There has to be a better way.</p>
