Try specifing your test values relative to the bounds of a
single character. Example;
mSize := 'm' asText asParagraph bounds.
Then use the ratio of your text sizes to mSize as your test
reference values.
I should add that I have not tried this, but I would hope
that there would be some consistency for a type face like
Courier.
