V principu je mozne prevzit metricke informace z CS fontu a v prislusnem
VF dodat mapovani. Tim by bylo zaruceno, ze metrika je naprosto shodna,
ale bylo by nutno overit, ze text vysazeny takovouto metrikou bude vypadat
dobre. Zejmena muze nastat problem u vyse zminenych pismen. Sam take moc
nestiham, mohl bych zkusit vysadit nejake pokusne texty, kdyby nekdo ty
TFM a VF udelal (aby tiha odpovednosti nelezela jen na jednom cloveku).
Vim, ze Karel Piska ma zkusenosti s porovnavanim znaku, mozna ma hotove i
nejake nastroje, ale nevim, jestli ma cas...
