dotCooCoo a1949095c6 Type: an option fits a text object's bounds to its glyph outlines
Measure Type by Glyph Bounds (`typeGlyphBounds`, off by default) is in
Preferences > Type > Glyph Bounds and the Transform panel menu. With it
on, the bounding box, the Transform, Control bar and Properties X, Y, W
and H, `object.setBounds`, the transform tools' reference point and the
Arrange commands measure point type selected on its own by the ink of
its glyphs instead of its em box. A typed W or H scales the live type
until its ink has that size.

- The engine caches each type object's ink in text space with its
  layout bounds; the cache is not saved.
- Use Preview Bounds adds the characters' strokes, and type with
  geometry effects is measured as drawn. Skewed type is measured by its
  outlines.
- Type that draws nothing, area type, type on a path and type inside a
  selected group are measured as before. Align and Distribute keep
  following Align to Glyph Bounds.
