Actual length of a contour

[martin]

Hi, I'm looking for the measured length of a contour. I do not mean the number of segments but the actual length of the circumferance of the dot of an i, for example, or the contour (stem) below.
I tried fontparts but did not find anything that would be a direct help.

@frankrolf yes, thanks. I'm sure there is a pythonic way then to look at those values. Knowing you, you know how to come by them :)
