That's possible. I could use just the ascent from that call as the row
height, but that is likely going to be the same thing as my calling
gdk_string_height with "0" or some other capital letter as the parameter.
It might be possible to get some better results by using "Ij" or similar and
gdk_string_extents, to get both the ascent and descent, but it still doesn't
get you the row spacing.
