But isn't that what you are asking for by setting a global scale to != 100 ??? I guess what happens is - compute the box that the text would fill - scale to to global scale - set the text within the bigger box Now that the bitmap fonts cannot be scaled, they are just equally spaced out to fill the requested size. I am not sure, but this is somehow what I would expect when using unscalable fonts. > p.s.
