I'm having problems with GetTextTotalWidth() using a custom bitmap font.

It's reporting the size of a line of 15 "i"'s ,which takes up approximately half the screen; as the same size as a line of "w"'s which is an entire screen width.

Quote: "This does not take into account the individual offsets of characters, if you have used SetTextCharX or similar to move a character."


Needless to say, although I have altered the spacing of the text itself, I have not altered any individual offsets.

This is using AppGameKit v2.0.10

Hmm, It works for me as well; even when I use the font I'm using in the project where it's not working.

The problem must lay elsewhere, probably something silly in my code. Thanks for looking anyway

>Edit<
It was indeed something silly in my code. It turns out I wasn't assigning the font image ID properly to the dummy text which I was using to determine width, so it was just using the default fixed width font. *facepalm*
