Incidentally, there are two of these in the psroff distribution.
One of them generates pretty tables with the character at 18 points,
width information along with octal, decimal and hex.  The other generates
a shar with the ditroff width tables for the desired fonts, and spits it
back up the serial line at the computer - all you have to do is unshar
the result and you can use them with ditroff (or psroff of course).  The latter
program comes with tpscript but I've mucked with it a bit to make it more
robust and parameterizable.
