Hi, James:

But it is not just an EBCDIC issue ... it depends on what font(s) you
are using. As I recall, some fonts are fixed, like Courier, and some
others are variable, where each letter only takes up the width it
needs. :-o

Right, but it means I only have to go through the EBCDIC printable characters for any given font, and I only have to measure the base glyphs.
