AFAIK, there's no good way to do that.
It should be pretty easy to add a new C function that provides the feature
to elisp, but nobody has written it yet (even though other people have
bumped into the problem for the exact same reason as you).
Posting a feature request to gnu.emacs.bug might help speed things up.

hi:

  Are there any possiable ways to get pixel position via point?
I mean the value (point) gives.

  In fact, I am trying to make tooltip showing around point, 
instead of mouse. It will be a good news if you can show me a better
way. ;)

There is no conflict between causality and randomness or between
determinism and probability if we agree, as we must, that
scientific theories are not discoveries of nature but rather
inventions of the human mind.
