Is there anyway to retreived the white space information about any
single character in any font.

How can I get the Black Box and white space measurements from any
single font character using VB6, VB2003, VB2008 or Java?

I am needing the information similar to
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.media.glyphtypeface.aspx
which I cannot get to work.

Can someone write a simple standalone module that will return Black
Box measurements, white space above, below, left and right any font
character?
