I am running a program to put a captcha image on my string and am trying to
make sure all the characters fit.
The problem is the size seems to be wrong.
What I am doing is starting from the rectangles' height + 1 (not sure why I
would use that as a starting point) then I loop through subtracting the
value by 1 until the size I get back from MeasureString is less than the
rectangle width.
I seem to be ending up with a string way to small.
The rectangle size is 200w * 50h.
When I use 50, I start losing characters on my display ( I am always using 7
and sometimes I will end up with 5 or 4 - not sure which routine is dropping
them - I assume it is my GraphicsPath.Ad dString that is doing it).
If I use 45, it always seems to work fine.
But if I run the loop and let the program figure it out it gets the
following:
After rect.width = 200 rect.height = 50
Inside do loop fontSize = 50 size.Width = 327.3979 rect.Width = 200
Inside do loop fontSize = 49 size.Width = 320.85 rect.Width = 200
Inside do loop fontSize = 48 size.Width = 314.3021 rect.Width = 200
Inside do loop fontSize = 47 size.Width = 307.7541 rect.Width = 200
Inside do loop fontSize = 46 size.Width = 301.2061 rect.Width = 200
Inside do loop fontSize = 45 size.Width = 294.6582 rect.Width = 200
Inside do loop fontSize = 44 size.Width = 288.1102 rect.Width = 200
Inside do loop fontSize = 43 size.Width = 281.5622 rect.Width = 200
Inside do loop fontSize = 42 size.Width = 275.0143 rect.Width = 200
Inside do loop fontSize = 41 size.Width = 268.4663 rect.Width = 200
Inside do loop fontSize = 40 size.Width = 261.9184 rect.Width = 200
Inside do loop fontSize = 39 size.Width = 255.3704 rect.Width = 200
Inside do loop fontSize = 38 size.Width = 248.8225 rect.Width = 200
Inside do loop fontSize = 37 size.Width = 242.2745 rect.Width = 200
Inside do loop fontSize = 36 size.Width = 235.7266 rect.Width = 200
Inside do loop fontSize = 35 size.Width = 229.1786 rect.Width = 200
Inside do loop fontSize = 34 size.Width = 222.6306 rect.Width = 200
Inside do loop fontSize = 33 size.Width = 216.0827 rect.Width = 200
Inside do loop fontSize = 32 size.Width = 209.5347 rect.Width = 200
Inside do loop fontSize = 31 size.Width = 202.9867 rect.Width = 200
Inside do loop fontSize = 30 size.Width = 196.4388 rect.Width = 200
30 is way less that the 45 that works.
Am I doing something wrong here? I am using the "Century Schoolbook" font.
Here is the code to test the size - the test is done just before the "while"
statement.
*************** *************** **********
float fontSize = rect.Height + 1;
Font font;
// Adjust the font size until the text fits within the image.
do
{
fontSize--;
font = new Font(this.famil yName, fontSize, FontStyle.Bold) ;
size = g.MeasureString (this.text, font);
} while (size.Width > rect.Width);
*************** *************** *************** **
Thanks,

The Font constructor you are using assumes the size is in points, not in
pixels. If you want to use pixels, try:
font = new Font(this.famil yName, fontSize, FontStyle.Bold,
GraphicsUnit.Pi xel);

I want to take the FontSize from a System.drawing.Font type and turn
that into a System.Windows.Controls FontSize. (Actually, I'd like to
take the whole font over, but I didn't see any standard converter.)
The former is a float and the latter a double. In XAML, though, you
can specify a string to handle the conversion. I understand I can do
this: NewFontSize = MainOldFont.Size * 96/72; however, isn't that 96
dependent upon a user setting?...

Hi, I am writing a function to change the font-size but I am running
into a snag. I cannot get the current font-size of the body. Here is
a link to a simplified test case
http://mustang.millersville.edu/~wstudent/cewing/mu/test.php
You would think that it would alert 72.5% when you click the resize
button, but it alerts nothing. If i add the style to the body tag
(style="font-size: 72.5%;" ), then it works.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
