As far as I understand maximumCharacterWidth returns the width of the widest character of the font - which can be ridiculously wide given that the font supports some wild unicode characters. I did a quick test and maximumCharacterWidth returned about twice the width actually needed. - Daniel ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
