The formattedwidth and italic fonts

[jbv]

Hi list,

the following command :

    set width of fld 1 to the formattedwidth of fld 1

truncates a few pixels on the right when the font is italic...

Is there a way to bypass this problem ?

I'm using Rev 2.5 on Mac Classic, and need to know
precisely the width of large characters (100 pixels size).

thanks,
JB
