The description of MeasureText says it`s not suitable for measuring text to be printing because it doesn`t go through StdText (IM IV p. 25) 1) So what should I use? It says that MeasureText is equivalent to calling TextWidth repeatedly & all the text & char measuring functions seem to be defined in terms of eachother - so does this mean none of them is ok. 2) Up till now, I`ve be using TextEdit to image my text, but TE erases behing the text (even in srcOr mode - I guess is does an EraseRect) Anyway, does TE use MeasureText? Please respond via email if possible. -ME
