In spite of its problems, I've used MeasureString pretty successfully, provided I stick to the more common fonts. IF the result is "way off", make sure you are using the same options with MeasureString that you ultimately use to display the text. Charlie

The MSDN docs indicate that it often is too, and recommends using Graphics.MeasureCharacterRanges instead. You might consider trying that approach as a work-around. I know that I've removed all references to MeasureString in my app in favor of MeasureCharacterRanges which is far more reliable for me. _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jansen Bart Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2007 3:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Mono-list] MeasureString Hi all, I'm trying to ensure that a string fits in a rectangle shown on screen, so whenever the string is too long, some characters are stripped. I'm using MeasureString to accomplish this. With mono under windows this is working fine, under linux the resulting string is always way too long. Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround? Thanks a lot for your help, B.
