Calculate text bounding box size in pixels
 |
I need to be able to calculate the size in pixels of a given piece of text from the font name and point size. Google has not turned up anything I can use as yet (or maybe understand). Clues anyone?

Assuming you are using MS-Windows, you will probably find something in one of these Font and Text Functions.

I don't do linux but I do know it has several different gui apis, such as Motif, so you have to be more specific about which one you are using.
