Yes - that is what I expect/believe it does!

Yup.

For the offscreen coordinate problem, it was the wrapping of the string and 
symbol expansion I was really worried about, which measure does and 
text_extents does not... However, as Albrecht points out, we probably don't 
care about that, since we want to measure strings that have already been 
formatted for output by fl_draw, so maybe text_extents would be the way to go.

Though I do suspect that the calls to measure the font glyphs can involve 
server trips, and so become uweildy...
