Yes, that's why I suggested looking in there. The relevant variables are:
- font_metrics
- font_zoom2_metrics
- font_measured
- font_zoom2_measured
The first two are an array of pixel sizes per character used when trying to find the font size that fits. This is done in the fit_font_into_metrics proc.
The second two arrays contain the measured sizes: fontsizes charwidth charheight
Note that there is also code in the C core which accesses these sizes and you may get a consistency check error when changing some of the metric numbers.

If anyone wants to suggest fixes too he font sizing algorithm, start by looking into the metrics and related font procedures in pd-gui.tcl.
Is pd-gui.tcl where we would find the right variable to call if we were trying to report the dimensions of an atom?
