We're trying to figure out if there's a way in CF to figure out the
actual, physical length of a string of text - eg, in pixels, inches,
whatever.
The issue - we need to be able to accept user data for a field, that
will eventually be printed to a PDF. That PDF has strict specs as to
how long a line of text can be. Of course, that'd be simple enough, if
it was printed in a fixed-width font... but it's not, and we don't have
the option of changing it.
So... I need to find a way to detemine how long a string of text will
be, given the font type, style, & point size. Anyone have any ideas how
to do this from within CF? (This is under MX, BTW).
Many thanks for any suggestions!
