A little detail.  The file Palatino-Roman.afm I have from
Adobe (I think I got it from the file-server) has the line:
C 202 ; WX 333 ; N ring ; B 94 66 344 720 ;

The figure 66 for the lower left y-coordinate is apparently
wrong.  The other figures might be off, too.  Anyone have the
correct value?  I've changed it to the following, which is
probably a little closer:
C 202 ; WX 333 ; N ring ; B 94 421 344 720 ;

The file has these version lines:

I ran into this trying to derive position corrections for
centering diacritics over characters.  I'm have difficulties
doing this for oblique fonts -- can't figure out how to
correct for the rightward slant of the characters.  Anybody
know how to do this?
