I'm not sure if it's suitable for your requirements, but I recently had a problem with metrics for strings without ascenders/descenders etc, that I needed to fit within pre-determined vertical bounds so I wrote a small method that uses a very
simplistic approach to work out the exact height of the actual rendered text for a specific string.
It can be used to select the correct font size for the height you require in combination with the other code on this page;

I hope you find it useful.
Thanks a lot for trying to help me out. It's unfortunately not quite
what I need. Me finding a solution to this problem has been reduced in
priority for the moment, but when I return to this, I have to learn a
bit more about the various frameworks convert a requested font height
into a device specific font scale.
Best regards,
