I'm interested in getting auto-show (horizontal scrolling) to work
with variable width fonts.  It'd be really, really nice if there was a 
way to find out how wide a string is in pixels and/or where point would
be in pixels.

I'm sure Bill Perry would like w3 to get similar info.  Anyone going
to work on it?
