pygame.freetype.Font.get_metrics returns the third value in tuple 'min_y' a wrong value

[gkusnir]

pygame 2.5.2 (SDL 2.28.3, Python 3.11.2) on Raspberry Pi OS

When running get_metrics() on a font object, the resulting list of tuples contains the metrics values and the min_y value (which is the third value in the tuple) is sometimes a huge positive integer. Assuming from the similarity with pygame.font.Font.metrics() this value should be a small negative integer. It looks like the value is just wrongly interpreted as unsigned int instead of signed int.

pygame.font.Font.metrics() for a letter 'd' gives this tuple (3, 50, -3, 73, 56)
pygame.freetype.Font.get_metrics() for 'd' gives this tuple (3, 50, 4294967293, 73, 56.0, 0.0)
The number 4294967293 when interpreted as signed is -3.

import pygame
import pygame.freetype
pygame.init()
pygame.freetype.init()

ff = pygame.freetype.match_font("freesans")
f = pygame.freetype.Font(ff)

_metrics = f.get_metrics("d", 100)

print(_metrics)
