I'm working on a gschem symbol generator(*). I'd like to measure text width the same way that gschem does when calculating symbol width. For a long time, I've been using a personal derivative of djboxsym -- DJ's code simply takes strlen() * 110 and uses that. It's a good estimate, but can be fooled.
Anyway, after digging into the code for a while, I'm having a hard time seeing where the font information comes from and how to extract the width. Pointers appreciated. -dave * Why? The goal is ANSI compliance. Not *any* arbitrary ANSI symbol, but any symbol it produces should be ANSI compliant. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
