In our application, people specify fonts with inch sizes. When I
actually render text at various dpis I need to figure out what point
size for the given font will give me the height I need. In other words,
I need a point size to pixel algorithm for the given font. I saw in the
FontRenderContext there was a getTransform that is supposed to do this,
but it always seems to return the identity transform. When I look at
the FontMetrics however, it is not a 1-1 mapping of point size to pixel
size for any font I have.
Is this feature broken?
Is there another way to figure this out?
What we are doing now is assuming there is a 1-1 mapping and then using
an algorithm with brute force to figure out the right point size. It
currently takes us from 2-5 tries to actually figure it out. However,
it would be nice to be able to do this without brute force.
Thanks in advance,
Irv
