- Is there any way to retrieve the size in pixels of the width of a
- character for a given font? I'm writing a terminal/curses style
- emulation using the bulletin board widget and need to know the logical
- size of a column.
-
- Example: my font is 5 pixels wide per character, therefore I need to
- make the BB widget 400 plus border size pixels to work with 80 logical
- columns.

- Thanks,
