Font metrics

I have a problem understanding font metrics.

I've got a font with these metrics:

boundingRectForFont.size.height: 21.893066
lineHeight: 16.000000
xHeight: 8.169434
capHeight: 12.568359
ascender: 12.568359
descender: -2.742188

Now, suppose I draw a string with that font using drawInRect:withAttributes:

At which position will the base line be when drawing in a flipped/non flipped view?

Thankful for any insight,

Andreas
