I get that.  But you are taking an internal format passed between the GUI and 
the core and exposing it to 
become a public API.  And that format virtually guarantees that users will 
misunderstand how it works:
"I told Pd to make the 12pt font 7x15 pixels, but it is isn't 7x15.  Is this a 
bug?"

Why do you want to add font metrics to the preferences?  That is information
that the GUI toolkit should produce automatically.
