FYI, Smile's "measuretext" command does that:
measuretext "turn left" font {text font:"Arial", text size:40, text
spacing:3, line spacing:1.1}
-- {1.5, -10.0, 160.3984375, 46.0}

I can find the length of the text in the column id name column but
to set it I need this in pixels, not characters. Since this text

Hey Bob,
I fooled with that years ago and gave it up as a bad job.
The only way I can think of to manage it is to find out the pixel
width of each character in the Finder font and create a conversion
table. You'll either have to measure them yourself or find out
which typeface is being used and see if there's an existing chart.
PITA. :)
I did some looking on the net, and it seems that TCL might have some
functions to measure string width in a give font. TCL is way over
my head at the moment though.
