Tomboy-Wordcount
Tomboy-Wordcount is a Tomboy plugin (or “addin”) which will count the lines, words, and characters in a note, much like the Unix “wc” (word count) tool.

Notes
“Multi-byte” characters are counted correctly as one character; however languages with no whitespace separation between words (such as Thai) are not yet supported.
