I'm looking for a way to find the heigth of the default system font
under 2.0 . The problem I have is the following: I want to print a
text in a window via PrintIText. I want to determine the window
heigth before opening it so I get a nice window that fits around
the text. What is the right way to do this ??? (under 2.0)
BTW. I find the Width by using IntuiTextLength (or something like that,
can't remember... is that right too ???)
If you can help me with this, please respond as fast as possible, 'cos
I'll leave soon..

While I guess you could use this round-about method (I assume that the RastPort in question would be the screen's ?) I'd be hesitant to do it that way. He wants the default system font which is guaranteed to be in GfxBase->DefaultFont. Easier to access, too :) bj >Regards Alan ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Brian Jackson Software Engineer @ Commodore-Amiga Inc. | | bj@cbmvax.commodore.com or ...{uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!bj GEnie: B.J. | | "Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky" | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
