Yup - though the "easy" fix of caching the glyph widths doesn't work either, since most latin / greek / cyrillic fonts will be kerned differently depending on what glyphs they are adjacent to, and the situation with many other languages is even worse, where the actual shape of the glyph may change completely depending on what it is next to... So, we possibly have to form whole words, then measure them, as measuring individual glyphs probably will not work.
