The font descent is the maximum descent for all characters in that font, so it will not help me to position the character correct.


You know, I have no clue if this is going to help or not, because I have no experience whatsoever with typesetting systems (other than using them), but have you considered looking at the source code for TeX/LaTeX front-ends? I would suspect that they have to deal with the very issue you're dealing with. One of the best TeX front-ends for the Mac is TeXShop and it's open-source, so you should be able to peruse its source. You might also want to contact some of its developers and code contributors.
