It's more reasonable, but still not quite consistent between Type 1
and TrueType. This may very well be the correct behaviour, though, as
the TrueType versions have much larger glyph coverage.
So that brings us back to my question: anybody have an idea about a
heuristic to provide a reasonable approximation of a font's average
width?
TrueType:
Times New Roman: 2.000 em
Arial: 2.000 em
Type 1:
Times New Roman PSMT: 1.000 em
Arial MT: 1.015 em
