It seems that you haven't read the documentation about `height':

      height              :: The height is the vertical distance
                             between two consecutive baselines,
                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                             expressed in font units.  It is always
                             positive.  Only relevant for scalable
                             formats.

With other words, it doesn't give the maximum size of a letter but the
distance between to text lines, normally larger than the largest
character.  You probably want to use the `ascender' and `descender'
fields of FT_Size_Metrics.
