"""
This is a utility to 'can' the widths data for certain CID fonts.
Now we're using Unicode, we don't need 20 CMAP files for each Asian
language, nor the widths of the non-normal characters encoded in each
font. we just want a dictionary of the character widths in a given
font which are NOT 1000 ems wide, keyed on Unicode character (not CID).
Running off CMAP files we get the following widths...::
>>> font = UnicodeCIDFont('HeiseiMin-W3')
>>> font.stringWidth(unicode(','), 10)
2.5
>>> font.stringWidth(unicode('m'), 10)
7.7800000000000002
>>> font.stringWidth(u'\u6771\u4EAC', 10)
20.0
>>>
