FigureUtilities.getTextExtents [message #202588]

Hi,

We are using FigureUtilities.getTextExtents and the results we are getting
suggests that the result is the same regardless of whether the font's
style is set to italic or not. Is it really the case that getTextExtents
ignores this?

Could it be that this result is actually correct?

You may be right, it could be GCs rendering of the italicised text that is
wrongly truncating the width. Is this something you've experienced?

No, I am just trying to clarify the situation. I have looked at italicized
Arial fonts, and in most cases I would not expect the italicized version of
a string to be longer than the normal one, depending on the last character.
If you are actually seeing letters being cut off, then I don't know.

You are seeing the result returned from win32. I don't think italics affect
the width result, even though they clearly require more pixels at the time
of painting, in some cases.

For example when "Named" is rendered we are seeing "Nameo". I have tried
adding a bit to the values calculated by FigureUtilities.getTextExtents
but this doesn't remedy the issue. I think the following GC bug reported
by Pratik might be the root of this problem:
