Well, y'all set the size when you initialize the font,
innit? I have this as a variable, and I reference that variable as an
offset other places where I blit text written in that font.
EX:
out_text = []
while len(text) > width:
if text[width] == ' ':
out_text.append(text[:width])
text = text[width:]
else:
new_width = text.rfind(' ', 0, width)
if new_width == -1:
new_width = width
out_text.append(text[:new_width])
text = text[new_width+1:]
out_text.append(text)
for line in out_text:
readout = gfx.font.render(line, 1, (0,0,0,255))
self.display_menu.blit(readout, (world.font_size,
height*world.font_size))
height+=1

Is
there any way to manually adjust the height of a font rendered in
PyGame? Ascent and descent are set to values that are quite a bit
larger than I would prefer, resulting in my text being drawn roughly 40%
lower than the given position. There are no setters for those
attributes (only getters). I could manually move the rendered text a
bit higher on the display, but that is a bit hacky and probably won't
work quite right for any given height value.
Thoughts?

That's not really my problem. I'm talking about the extra spacing
added above and below the font when it is rendered. Take a look at the
attached screenshot. I render the text "Xj()~'" in the upper-left
corner at position (0,0), with a height of 24. The text is drawn 54
pixels in height, but font.size() returns (46,35), resulting in my font
being drawn 9 pixels below the desired positon. Drawing a larger font
results in the font being drawn even lower
Here are some other results:
| Desired |
size[1] |
True Pixel |
| 8 |
6 |
12 |
| 16 |
14 |
23 |
| 20 |

| 80 |
74 |
112 |
| 100 |
93 |
140 |
| 200 |
185 |
280 |
Desired = Height value passed to Font constructor
size[1] = height value in tuple returned by font.size()
True Pixel = True height of the rendered font in pixels
