If the letters are available in the Latin-1
character set, try to write them directly
using their 8 bit character code in the input
file. This will not give exactly exactly the
correct width, but almost (all unknown characters
get the width of an 'x', I think).
How did you specify the characters? TeX macros
are skipped in the size calculations, so it
should actually work the way you did also.
If you send me an example, I could check it
more carefully.
