It seems that GetTextTotalWidth return the width of text in world units, I need the width of the text in pixels. I can't find anything about getting the the width in pixels. Does anybody know how to do that in tier 1?

EDIT: I solved my problem right after posting Been looking at this all day :-P I set a variable for text sizing so I can change text size all over just by modifying one variable, only problem was that this variable was SET after first call to some text :-P So text size was effectively zero at that call :-P
The byte chrunchers are coming...

Always good when you solve your own problems. Coding is like that a lot.

And sometimes it takes someone looking at the code that you've been looking at for hours to find the problem. This happened at work (a couple of times). A co-worker could't understand why something kept failing and not seeing that 'function' had been spelled 'funtcion'.
