calculate font size in pixel

[antani]

Hi, I should print many row (nameitem, quantity, price). I would like
print price item with justification to right. I need to know width
font size in pixel.

example:


ppp 1 10e
fffff 2 1e

Look at Graphics.MeasureString().

Look at Graphics.MeasureString().

MeasureString is rarely any good when aligning text as it is just a rough but speedy measurement of the size of a given text and font. Instead use MeasureCharacterRanges. It is somewhat more complex to set up, but gives much better measurements.

Yeah, it's not terribly good, and I almost suggested calling
GetTextExtentExPoint, as that's the method we normally use in our custom
controls. It's expensive, but it's more accurate for some of the asian
fonts.
