Re: Determine size of print line with proportional fonts

I think FNT objects hold this information but I don't know how to retrieve
it.

I found the measurements for this fonts:

1 C0N30080 Times new romans corpo 8 normale
2 C0N20060 Times new romans corpo 6 normale
3 C0N40060 Times new romans corpo 6 bold

5 C0H400B0 Arial corpo 12 bold

7 C0H40000 Arial corpo 10 bold
8 C0H20080 Arial corpo 8 normale

10 C0H20000 Arial corpo 10 normale

16 C0H200B0 Arial corpo 12 normale
17 C0H200D0 Arial corpo 14 normale
18 C0H400D0 Arial corpo 14 bold

I am using a print file to print names that can be a maximum length of 66
bytes.
A co-worker tells me that you can somehow know how much space a name takes
up, even though the print is proportional.
He also said he did not have any more information on that, just heard you
could do it.

So if the first name occupies the full line, you would test and advance to
the next line.
If it does not take up the full line, you can test the next name and see if
they can both fit on the same line.

THIS NAME TAKES UP THE FULL LINE OF PRINT WWWWWWWWW YES IT DOES

THIS IS A SHORTER NAME THIS IS ANOTHER SHORTER NAME

Easy when you use CPI, but I suspect my co-worker wants to make me look
stupid, forever engraved in cyber space, thinking you
can somehow test how much space is used in proportional printing.

TIA
