I need some information about the character sizes of all PostScript fonts. My problem is this has to be known outside PostScript. Is there a good way to get this information ? The only way I could think of right now is to printout the character sizes and then enter them into a data file (to build a font-width table). This involves a lot of tedious typing. I tried to use the _writestring_ command in PostScript, but failed to write the relevent information into a file. So if anyone could give me some instruction about how to read and write files in PostScript, it will be really appreciated.
