Dear André, dear Jörg,

in a figure prepared with PyX, a professional designer had to replace the
labels because the journal is using a non-free font which I do not own.
Since PyX relies on (La)TeX for typesetting, each character is placed
individually and (La)TeX ensures the proper kerning. Of course, for a
different font the kerning will be different so that simply switching the
font is not an option. Instead, the designer had to retype the text which
not only costs time but also introduces a potential source of errors. In
this special case, it would be advantageous if it were possible to set
longer text in one single box so that the designer could just switch the
font. This may well be impossible to do with PyX, but I wonder whether
there exists a trick which could help in this situation. Or may be I just
oversee something obvious? Any help is appreciated.

Best regards,
Gert
