+# Android FontMetrics
+An Android app for measuring and testing FontMetrics
+
+![App preview](/Xi2UG.png?raw=true)
+
+This app was originally created and used for these Stack Overflow questions:
+
+- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27631736/meaning-of-top-ascent-baseline-descent-bottom-and-leading-in-androids-font
+- http://stackoverflow.com/a/42091739/
+
+I decided to put the project on GitHub to make it easier to experiment with, and also so that other people will improve it.
+
+## TODO
+
+If you want to help, here are some improvements that are needed:
+- Hide the keyboard after clicking the update button.
+- Improve the layout to work on different sized devices. I'm guessing it may clip some views for small devices or in landscape orientation.
+- Add a few custom (free) fonts and add an option to select different fonts.
