Translate characters/string size to data/normal coordinates? [message #40280]

Is there any way to know the position of characters written to a
device with xyouts? I'd like to do an xyouts but clear anything
drawn underneath the text first with a polyfill.

I can do it by trial and error but I could generalize it if I could
translate characters to width and height in data or normal coordinates.
I suppose this would change with !p.charsize/charsize/font selection.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
John K.
