This is quite impressive! This will make it much easier for me to obtain the right dimensions… Now if only this worked with OpenType as well (or any other font format ConTeXt understands natively)… and it would be really great if direct access to outlines extended to arbitrary typeset material beyond single glyphs. I know there used to be a TeX -> PS -> pstoedit -> MetaPost workflow. Does this still work with MkIV?
