_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Gets the descent from a font metrics structure. The descent is the
     distance from the baseline to the logical bottom of a line of
     text. (The logical bottom may be above or below the bottom of the
     actual drawn ink. It is necessary to lay out the text to figure
     where the ink will be.)

     [integer]  the descent, in Pango units. (1 point == 'PANGO_SCALE'
     Pango units.)
