Oops, indeed. "H" in XHelvetica/13 is 9 pixels.. the mistake was because I counted it from my Screen Text string (font.png), but it actually is XHelvetica/11 (which is the 8 pixels), because those fonts get overridden by my statically set MUI settings. Should have counted that from the font requester as I did with other fonts :)

And to be more exact why I'd prefer comparing upper case letters is that some lower case letters (like "h", "l", etc) can be higher than upper case letters in some fonts, and that makes the general look of the font smaller too. Those few "bigger than other letters for styling" letters are rarely used, but the upper case letters are usually all with same height and define the overall look of the font.
