Tried your idea using the following:  Created two 18pt text fields, put "W"
into fld 1, "I" into field 2, ran the following function:

  return (formattedWidth of fld 1 = formattedWidth of fld 2)

Results were false with Rev's default font, true with Monaco and Apple Mono
(OS X).

Seems like a valid direction.
