Then write a C++ program using Winapi & GDI+.
I experienced myself the problem you have with C# and found it quite annoying. Eventually I used a free tool (unfortunately I don't remember its name) to rasterize the fonts.

Yeah, I want to go the free tool route if possible, or otherwise whip this up quick and dirty. I just need to make a tool that's not standalone - it's just meant as a utility to generate font files my code needs.

A C# wrapper around FreeType is another alternative?
|
|
|
|

I have no idea what freetype is
*googles*
I don't need a C# wrapper. I can code in pretty much anything - taught myself some python last night because i needed some code from a script =). I just had never heard of freetype before.
Thanks

I think that's what GraphicsPath.AddString() calls but I could be wrong.
At any rate, I'll give it a shot down the road. I've decided to import .FON files for the time being.
Thanks! I'll bear this in mind.

We used it back in the day under Windows 3.1 to render TrueType fonts into bitmaps for use in our commercial ink-jet printers. There are other calls in that same area that give you character metrics and other useful information for your application.

fwiw: I wonder if what you observe is the result of the quantizing/hinting of outline-based fonts for display/rasterization at different point sizes.

I thought about that, but it doesn't seem like it, because the padding is consistent (in terms of physical proportions) as you increase the size. There seems to be some internal box layout (similar to CSS margins/padding) but I can't control it.
I could be wrong of course. Being on the outside looking in when it comes to the implementation of this there's always the possibility, but I'm more confident than not about this.

Good call. My youngster said it was a wheel bug when he first showed it to me, but when I went to search for it, all I found was the adult, which obviously looks different.
Thanks.

Only really possible in a no-show political appointment.
Political Appointment? Italy. Ooops - that makes it all clear.
The person who was appointed to keep track of this sort of thing has been gone at least twenty years . . .

Sadly not so. I won't go into any detail as things ended very badly (thinking of family) but someone I went to school with was caught after many years in a very different profession, having never turned up to work but was being paid.

I'm not in Italy, but still, as someone who sees his tax dollars wasted on "public sector workers", I'm not applauding this..."accomplishment".
Fire his ass. Recover the money. Scare the other ones into doing something useful for a change.

If you get 15 years of retirement in life, would you like that to be in your 20's - 30's or your 60's - 70's ? This guy beat the system.
