The memoir manual (CTAN macros/latex/contrib/memoir/memman.pdf) includes
a table relating line length, characters per line and length (in points) of
the typeset lowercase alphabet. The memoir class includes two macros that,
given a font specification, will calculate the length of lines containing 45
and 65 characters.
