Using ems for measure and a standard font, you could spec a width that would always size to accommodate a given string. Obviously t'would be much simpler to have the correct width generated automatically rather than finding it by trial-and-error. If this option doesn't get into the spec, maybe someone can write a plug-in that gives an em measure readout for text you highlight. David Perrell
