If I understand this right, you're trying to make proportional fonts "line
up" like non-proportional (or fixed font, like courrier) fonts.
Not at all. I'm trying to measure the set-width of a character string in
a given font, one that's long enough that it can overflow the alotted
space, so that if it exceeds that space, a horizontal scaling can be
applied to it, based on the actual set-width, which is far more accurate
than a horizontal scaling based on the character count.
Likewise, if I want to accurately center type in a space, I need the
actual set-width of the string, in the given font, in order to know what
to add to the starting position.
