Keep in mind that you can insert Unicode characters into InDesign using
strings like "<00DB>". So you might build a simple hex counting loop,
rather than a string of characters. Don't know how you'd handle missing
glyphs, though.
I'd also be inclined to do it in, say, 10pt rather than 1pt, although
the differences probably don't matter.
And I wonder whether the results would be any different if you just set
a wide frame to test_char_set and got the horizontal offset of "every
character".
