Hi folks --

I'm trying to do some moderately complex text operations, such as creating a centered paragraph of text, and positioning it at the left or right side of a larger bitmap. From reading the docs, it looks like the combination of gravity and text-alignment settings should do the trick. But whenever I use DrawSetTextAlignment, it seems to blow away my gravity setting.

If I can't get this to work, I can calculate the text positions manually ... oh wait, I can't, because QueryFontMetrics apparently doesn't work in multi-line mode (see my last posting). Any solutions, anyone?

Thanks --
