This is quite impressive! This will make it much easier for me to obtain th= e right dimensions=85 Now if only this worked with OpenType as well (or any other font format Con= TeXt understands natively)=85 and it would be really great if direct access= to outlines extended to arbitrary typeset material beyond single glyphs. = I know there used to be a TeX -> PS -> pstoedit -> MetaPost workflow. Does = this still work with MkIV?
