Its actually more compounded than that. You can basically do this with Java's AWT Font/FontMetrics classes but the sizes are incompatible with Windows fonts (let alone Mac et al). Someone has to record the data for Windows fonts and or an API that reads the font files and calculates them.
Well, the FOP project has a TTFReader already... maybe it's time for them to push all that into a font-commons package so that POI can depend on it. :-)
