I realize it would take a lot of initial work, but you guys seem up for it: why not just use a lookup table with the exact values you need for each font "condition" listed?

Hi Joe,

I think the time to research all of the possible scenarios would take longer then it did to right the image analyzer handler (~1/2 hr) as I would have to do this for Mac/Win and even then I wouldn't know if it would work with fonts I don't have installed. The problem I kept running into is that different fonts at the same size can have very different heights.

Of course, you can limit the amount of preparation by just limiting the acceptable fonts and perhaps some of the other ranges as well. This way the table of values could be expanded over time and by others if need be without coming up with any "exact" formulation at the outset. Just a thought!

Limiting the text size ranges and fonts would have been an option and I almost went that route. But now that I have a handler to analyze the glyph I don't have to worry about it no matter what the user throws at it.

Thanks,
