metrics: the amount of space each letter of the character set takes up horizontally and vertically so that you can precisely compute how much space needed to display a given string of text. It also refers to measurement of object-oriented technology and its use. "Measurement" is interpreted widely to include such matters as cost estimation, test management, surveys of uptake of OO and industrial experience, provided these are to any extent quantitative.
