I am trying to write a program (in C - or postscript if its possible) that will
take the input, and produce the necessary PostScript code to write justified
text (similar to troff).

My questions are:

a) Has anyone done this, and if so how?

b) If not, does anyone know where I could start looking to find out the
   character widths for each font.

As always, thanks in advance,
