Figure out the pixel size of a character

Hi there,

I’m trying to figure out the pixel size of a character of a Text element(not the GUIText/TextMesh, but the UI.Text from Unity 4.6 UI), without luck.

Somebody has any idea about how to do this?

Thanks.

I found this, but saw no predefined function in the api for this.
