equivalent to xemacs face-width?

equivalent to xemacs face-width?

[Miguel Frasson]

Hi

I am trying to port the package latex-symbols to gnu emacs, but I only
know the basics on lisp.

What is the GNU emacs equivalent to face-width? The code of a xemacs
function follows.

Thanks.

Miguel.

Just a guess:
(face-attribute 'default :width)
