Hai all,

I am using this code

int x=int w =Convert.ToInt32(Math.Ceiling(g.MeasureString("My string", s).Width));
//f is the object of Font
//g is the object of Graphics

but the value I am getting in x is not accurate all time, Its value is changing alternately...

How can I solve this problem...

Please help...

Looks like a good article. The problem is pretty difficult. My 5.

Hi SA! Yeah, it's a pity MeasureString is so unreliable - but there you go, it is quick...

Yes. Do you know the backgrounds of this difficulty? Rendering (small) characters is a very complex and hard-to-understand technique, taking into account sub-pixels, an internal structure of each pixel and other delicate aspects. I recently came across to an article on the topic -- a head-breaking reading, in fact.

Oh yes! I used to design industrial inkjet printers, and rendering characters is a PITA at the best of times... :laugh:
