I use (abuse?) the Charts APi for Maps labels/icons and just want to know if the font size, spacing or other things can change?
Example output from Chart API: http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=itr&chs=32x18&chco=aa3311,000000ff,ffffff01&chl=Hotel&chx=FFFFFF,9&chf=bg,s,00000000&ext=.png I have written some JS to calculate buttonsize (32x18), fontsize (9) for the text (Hotel). See example above. This works fine. But, if the Charts API Team changes the font to, lets say "Courier" then my calculations will fail...
