Hi Phil: With regard to the x26.02 issue with a much-too-wide legend box. That issue does not happen for any device driver (i.e., cairo and qt) that provide get_string_length capability as indicated by the has_string_length flag. Here are the complete current locations in the code that have something to do with get_string_length or has_string_length
software@raven> find . -type f |grep -v .git | \ xargs grep -E '(get_string_length|has_string_length)' ./bindings/qt_gui/plqt.cpp: if ( pls->get_string_length ) ./bindings/qt_gui/plqt.cpp: if ( pls->get_string_length ) ./drivers/cairo.c: if ( pls->get_string_length ) ./drivers/cairo.c: if ( pls->get_string_length ) ./drivers/cairo.c: pls->has_string_length = 1; // Driver supports string length calculations ./drivers/qt.cpp: pls->has_string_length = 1; // Driver supports string length calculations ./drivers/qt.cpp: pls->has_string_length = 1; // Driver supports string length calculations ./drivers/qt.cpp: pls->has_string_length = 1; // Driver supports string length calculations ./drivers/qt.cpp: pls->has_string_length = 1; // Driver supports string length calculations ./drivers/qt.cpp: pls->has_string_length = 1; // Driver supports string length calculations ./drivers/qt.cpp: pls->has_string_length = 1; // Driver supports string length calculations ./src/plsym.c: // it do so by setting get_string_length flag. When this is set ./src/plsym.c: if ( plsc->has_string_length ) ./src/plsym.c: plsc->get_string_length = 1; ./src/plsym.c: plsc->get_string_length = 0; ./include/plstrm.h:// has_string_length PLINT The driver can calculate the lengths of strings ./include/plstrm.h:// get_string_length PLINT Tells the driver to calculate the length of the string ./include/plstrm.h: PLINT has_string_length; ./include/plstrm.h: PLINT get_string_length; >From these results you can see that so far only the qt and cairo devices provide this capability. In each of those cases we had to figure out how to derive the physical string length that would be rendered by the library (without actually rendering that unicode string) from the native library API, but once we had done that, the rest was trivial. So if you aware of any native wxwidgets library API for this purpose, then please let me know, and I can take it from there before the release since this is a perfect example of a fix that has no impact beyond wxwidgets.
