I want to find out the size of the glyph of a character. If I know the font, I can use font-get-glyphs. So the real question is how can I find the font used for a particular character in a particular face?

Thanks,
Yuan

Did you try `describe-face' and `describe-char'?

First type, then `backward-char', then invoke...

Use font-at.
