| [height](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/textcore/glyphmetrics/height.md)                         | The height of the glyph.                                                                                                                         |
| [horizontalAdvance](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/textcore/glyphmetrics/horizontaladvance.md)   | The horizontal distance to increase (left to right) or decrease (right to left) the drawing position relative to the origin of the text element. |
| [horizontalBearingX](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/textcore/glyphmetrics/horizontalbearingx.md) | The horizontal distance from the current drawing position (origin) relative to the element's left bounding box edge (bbox).                      |
