[Freetype] Bounding box

[Olivier Couet]

 Hi,

 To render text string with FT2 I need to create an XImage which contains
the whole character string. To do that I need to know exactly what will be
the Bounding Box of the whole string at the pixel level. I would like to
know if somebody knows a algorithm with does that at any angle ? For
example:
               +
             T |
           X   |
         E     |  H
       T       |
      +--------+
          W

What is the best way to get W and H for any font ?
