Really? How can I test this? I just tried inserting an image into an 
elisp buffer (using M-x insert-file) but compute-motion only seems to 
see the source of the image. Therefore I can't get fractional sizes.

And, as mentioned before, I need a command that gives me the width of 
characters in pixels (or inches, or whatever) in order to treat 
variable width fonts properly. I already asked whether such a command 
exists (thread "Getting the width of a character?") but noone answered. 
Do you have an idea how to proceed?
