Working with fonts
Posted: Thu Jul 18, 2013 5:07 pm
I'm a little confused about how to work with different fonts.
I'm writing a program which lets the user define which font they want displayed, but I foresee a problem.
When they pick their font, how will I know how to size my user interface elements?
Especially if the user picks a variable width font, I won't know how, programmatically, to determine user interface elements' (buttons and the like) width/height to prevent text from spilling out of the UI elements or being cut off by them.
Anyone have experience or suggestions for dealing with this?
