The font descent is the maximum descent for all characters in that

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.
All TeXShop or another front end will do is run a TeX process (e.g.,
pdftex, xetex) on your TeX source, then display the result in a
PDFView. You'd have to look at the TeX source to see what it does: http://xetex.sourceforge.net
is one example.
