Re: Finding out a fonts height

Show all headers | View raw

Thanks guys.

Is there any way to tell, at a particular font size, and for a particular width, what the HEIGHT of a particular portion of text will be? Like, a "d" will be say, 5 pixels wide, and a "i" say 2 pixels, and so on, so - for a given sentence: "I went up", how do I tell how wide the whole thing will be? Following on from which, if I set a <div> at a width I want, what will be it's height on screen? (assuming it's a good say 10 lines of text etc., of course!)
Is there any way to find out? This REALLY seems tricky!

Thanks.
