We always use the current default face's font for this. Otherwise,
you get to a problem that IMO is insoluble even in principle.

You need help from Emacs, because it knows everything about that
font's metrics. But we don't have an API for that for now.

It's ambiguous on purpose: the line-spacing can be specified in
several ways. Feel free to improve the doc string.

There's no need: the width of a font is well defined, and the display
engine uses it all the time. We just don't expose it in the font-info
API; we should add that.
