Getting font size before initializing graphics

well..one slightly ugly solution might be to create the display
for single purpose of grabbing that info..

graphics(640,480,0)
*GetFont Data*
endgraphics()
*Rest of the Proggy*
end

this should result in the window poping up for
a second or two..but i imagine this isnt too annoying,
anyway..you can use this kludge until someone tells
you how to do it cleanly ;)
