Trying to create a nethod to autosize a font when printing

[Shawn]

Hi;

I'm trying to create a method that will figure out the size of a font based
on the data that is to printed to the page. i will be printing a tabular
report where it's all based on two rectangles the first on will contain a
three char word and the second cell will have up to 44 characters. there will
be X number of these pairings horizontally. Since i don't want the cells to
vary in width i did the calculations based on a width of 44 chars. my
caluclations looked some thing like this:

myFont = new Font("Arial",10);
FontWidth = Convert.ToInt32(myG.MeasureString("h",myFont).Widt h);
count = 6; //number of column pairs
MaxStringLength = 44;
WidthCell1=3;

MaxWidth = (WidthCell1 + MaxStringLength )*count*FontWidth ;

how ever when i draw the cells around the two strings the both have extra
space. much more than the string length any ideas?
