for some reason, the values it gives are significantly larger than the
AFM values.. for example an upper case A in Futura Book is 0.699
point, or 0.0097", per the AFM, but 0.0111" per this script.
The reason is in your script:
set {tracking, horizontal scale} to {100, 100}
Try setting the tracking to 0, not 100.
FYI, the UI in ID CS also gives a read out of horizontal offset from
the left of a text frame.
