Probably.  You might look at the implementation of
GtkFontSelectionDialog in Gtk+ to find out more.

Not yet, but it can be added like so

    (define-func gdk_string_extents
      (none (values (lbearing rbearing width ascent descent)))
      ((GdkFont font)
       (string string)
       (int lbearing)
       (int rbearing)
       (int width)
       (int ascent)
       (int descent)))

    guile> (gdk-string-extents "fixed" "Hi!")
    (0 15 18 9 0)

I have just done this, it should be available in CVS now.
