           divided by 1000 and multiplied by the font size (height in points), gives the advance width to the
           next character's start. Typically, the width will be under 1000.

   width
           $wd = $font->width($text)

           Return the width of $text as if it were at font size 1 (unscaled).  CAUTION: works correctly only if

   width_array
           @widths = $font->width_array($text)

           Return (as an array) the widths of the words in $text as if they were at size 1.
