Hi David

A question or three arising:

What is the problem with your original approach ?

Given that the function is producing approximate character-sizes, in what sense 
is the size of (english) "m" a more useful basis for such approximation? For 
example, using that seems to me to significantly increase dialog width (for 
proportional fonts at least), well beyond the expected no. of chars.

Should some other letter be used for (some) other languages ?

Tom
