Hi,
is there any possibility to determine the width of a String (in pixels)
when the font-size is given?

See
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.sni ppets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet93.java?rev=HEAD&a mp;content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
(you can set the Font on the GC if it's different from the Label's current
font).
