Code (adapted from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xwf9s90b.aspx?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=csharp#code-snippet-1 - this links also explains about the em/fontDesignUnits to Pixel conversion)

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            int ascent;
            float ascentPixel;
            int descent;
            float descentPixel;
            int lineSpacing;
            float lineSpacingPixel;

            FontFamily fontFamily = new FontFamily("Liberation Sans");
            Font font = new Font(fontFamily, 16, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.Pixel);

            ascent = fontFamily.GetCellAscent(FontStyle.Regular);
            ascentPixel = font.Size * ascent / fontFamily.GetEmHeight(FontStyle.Regular);

            descent = fontFamily.GetCellDescent(FontStyle.Regular);
            descentPixel = font.Size * descent / fontFamily.GetEmHeight(FontStyle.Regular);

            lineSpacing = fontFamily.GetLineSpacing(FontStyle.Regular);
            lineSpacingPixel = font.Size * lineSpacing / fontFamily.GetEmHeight(FontStyle.Regular);

            Console.WriteLine("Liberation Sans, 16 (fontSize: " + font.Size + ") - lineSpacingPixel: " + lineSpacingPixel + ", ascentPixel " + ascentPixel + ", descent " + descentPixel + ", ascent+descent: " + (ascentPixel + descentPixel));
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
