I'm not sure how to read "it's not the kerning you are looking for."  What I am 
trying to discover is how to get the exact pixel size of '0xFFFF' and of 
'suffix AV' - the latter will potentially involve more kerning than the former.

If this were being done correctly, one would need not only the output device 
and the font, but also the exact text.  It appears there is room to grow.

Arr. Correction; the only place StrikeFonts use something with a name related 
to kerning is when doing something with Italics, can't remember exactly how, 
why, or what methods. :) In any case it's not the kerning you are looking for.
