CSS font [message #531748]

I am implementing a widget whose size depends on the font it is using. I use themming from a CSS file where default font are defined. I suppose the widget I am working on will inherit the font type from css which is decided before widget is rendered. However when debuging the I find different values from Graphics.stringExtent(font, string) method, and I am sure that the samet font returned from Control.getFont method and used as the parameter. So I guess this is the problem of the implementation ofGraphics.stringExtent which returns different value when I simply refresh the web page.

More information, I am using 1.3M6 as the platform and a different value returned when I try to refresh the page and all widgets are re-rendered.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

maybe your observation is related to the way the text size determination
works in RAP. Before text sizes are measured on the client, it uses an
estimated value. This only affects the first session that renders the
string.
