Someone should run this program (using "wish") on each supported OS:

pack [text .log] -expand 1 -fill both
foreach face {Courier Helvetica Sans} {
  foreach n {8 10 12 14} {
    set font [list $face -$n]
    .log insert end "$font: [font metrics $font]\n"
    for {set i 65} {$i < 123} {incr i} {
      set t [format %c $i]
      .log insert end [format "%s:%-2d " $t [font measure $font $t]]
      if {($i&31)==13} {.log insert end "\n"}
      if {($i&31)==26} {.log insert end "\n"; set i [expr $i+6]}
    }
  }
}
