Only if you execute the array.

% LaserWriter
You must have a differant LaserWriter than I do.
/Times-Roman findfont 10 scalefont /FontBBox get == flush
produces { -170 -223 1024 896 } on the operand stack. This is
an executable array. (a procedure if you will)
It still is an array, but if you execute it, it will replace the
array with the 4 numbers.
