I never saw any response to this inquiry, but I'm still heading in the
same general direction. Here's an alternative question that may be a
bit easier for someone to answer:
Let's assume that I redefine "show" to grab some relevant info on each
character being imaged (e.g., bounding box, font, point size, etc.).
How should I "print" this information from within the PostScript code
so that it can be retrieved by a follow-on program? For example, can
I log text messages to some specified file?

Let's assume that I have used gs to render some PDF into raster files
(one per page) of some known size. I would like to be able to generate
corresponding files that contain the bounding boxes for each character
that was imaged, as:
'F', 46, 100, 100, 120, 110
'o', 6f, ...
'o', 6f, ...
Although I'm pretty sure I can find a way to hack this into the code,
I thought I'd ask whether there's already something of this sort that
I should investigate.
