	Is there a way to absolutely specify the height and width of
	a fixed font (like courier).  I need to create letters of a
	sized which completely fits within a box and which fills the
	box.  I need to know that given an x,y position I can draw
	a box which is 300 x 500 (width by height) and draw a character
	in it.  I essentially need the info from the FontBBox.

	thanks,

	Mark
