largest glyph width in Arial?  Doing some web design and I need
to give a div a specific size. However, I do know how many
characters are in the text box, so what's the widest character
that could possibly go in there. If there's none, are all the
characters in Helvetica Neue equal width?  share|improve this

definitely not a monospaced font. Rule of thumb is to check the
'm' and 'M'. Compare that to the 'w' and 'W' and you should have
your answer.  share|improve this answer Capital 'W' is the
widest. –  Jackson Gariety Jul 23 '12 at 21:08 I'd also take a
