No, I mean that it is generally unreliable to measure the pixel
dimensions of some text in one buffer, then assume that the dimensions
will be the same when displayed as overlay in another buffer. This is
only true when both buffers use the same single font and the same line
spacing; otherwise, it's simply false.
