This is using my previous suggestion of comparing two letters rather than the entire alphabet.
Howard thanks. Yes this method is fairly quick. Actually I was hoping for a ready-made system property like "the fixedWidthFontFamilies" or something ;-)
re: comparing I vs. Z or the whole alphabet. Picking two letters I would take I and M. I think M is supposed to be the widest letter in general, hence an "em-dash"... I could be wrong about that.
But my reason for using entire alphabet instead of I and Z is that I think it could be possible for some font to have an I and Z have a difference in width that is less than the resolution of "the formattedWidth". I can't visualize what the font would be, but it's certainly possible. That's why I would make it more reliable by comparing multiple letters. Thoughts?
The key to this speed, btw, is the lock screen command.
Yep I am doing that too.
