Tweaked to take account of each character's y offset, which is probably what interests you more than solely the height of each character.

Method TextHeight:Int(txt:String)
	Local h:Int = 0
	For Local i:= 0 Until txt.Length
		Local asc:Int = txt[i]
		Local ac:Char = chars[asc]
		If (ac.height+ac.yOffset > h) h = ac.height+ac.yOffset
	Next
	Return h
End
