Fair enough. However, i don't think my misunderstanding is related to arguments of that function. >> AFAIU, `window-text-pixel-size' returns the size of the window > > No, it returns the size of _text_ when displayed in a window. True. My problem is that I have some string, _which is not displayed anywhere_ yet. I need to obtain its real width along with the width of a single character in order to compute the length argument in `make-string'. I may be missing something obvious. > I didn't mean text-width, I meant the use of string-width: it should > be replaced by a call to window-text-pixel-size. `string-width' applies to a string. `window-text-pixel-size' doesn't. This is the root of my misunderstanding, I guess. Regards,
