Slightly OT (but maybe not). I read an interesting article yesterday in the 
current c't Magazin (German computer tech mag - has been around for 25 or so 
years) that there is no real way to determine if a font is truly monospaced. 
The font file formats don't always give this information, and if they do, it's 
not necessarily true. Adding t that the automated glyph insertion as described 
in this thread, there is no sure way of knowing if a font is monospaced on any 
platform. Even if the characters "l" and "M" have the same width, it does not 
mean that some Chinese glyph somewhere up in the ranks isn't twice as wide... .
