Lines: 17 I have a form that uses a bold font and another that uses a medium font. I need to find out the Width and Height of a "typical" character (in PIXELS) in the font for each form. I specified the font for each form in my XAPPLRESDIR resource file. I think there should be a way in the Intrinsics to find out the xteristics of a font without resorting to Xlib! Any ideas? Pls E-mail. Thanx --Emuleomo O.O. (emuleomo@yes.rutgers.edu) -- Remember! It doesn't matter if you win or lose, as long as you win!
