The problem (afaics) is that lilypond assumes that sizes are given in 
1/1000 points whereas they in fact ARE given in 1/1000 ems. (em is 
defined as the width of "M". Though in the attached file, M has a width 
of only 916.667 ...?!?!?!)
Problem is that I don't know (don't understand) - given an afm - how to 
determine em width.
Anyone?
