If you are using an API you have access to the font attributes functions. I don't however use an API normally so I don't know the details directly, see the manual. For command line you can get a basic idea using methods details in IM Examples, Text, Determining Font Metrics http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/~anthony/graphics/imagick6/text/#font_info Just substitute the whole string for your tests. Now actually generating images to find simple attributes is of course a couple of orders of magnitute slower than using an API.
