Also I don't think you can determine if a string meter is clipped (those three dots are only there when it's displayed, you can't parse them out of some string).
nope but a good regression
cause everytime you change your fontsize, you need to re-write the hard-code

Maybe you can add a supervized machine-learning algorithmen. Might be overkill but you can have a 256 sized input vector (for each ANSI letter) and learn it with a neural network

Lol, I'd like to see that in native Rainmeter without Lua ;). Having a great number of calc measures tweaking each other's values. Perhaps you could even visualize it somehow...

Actually something like this might be quite an interesting project (not with the fonts, but with some other input like mouse over to make a cool visual effect).
Have more fun creating skins with Sublime Text 2 and the Rainmeter Package!
