font metrics / lenght of text

 [1/2] from: koopmans::itr::ing::nl at: 14-Jun-2001 11:16


Hi, How do I determine the lenght of a text in a face? I can't find any font metric stuff. I need to scale a face to match the lenght of a string I supply, and then place a fitted image in the background. --Maarten
