I could have sworn that I've seen an AGS function that returns the number of pixels it takes to display a given string and font, but I'll be darned if I can find it now.  Anyone know the name of this function or WITFN it is?  have any clues how to find it.   :=  Thanks...

I never thought I'd see the day that RickJ posted in the Beginners' Tech Forum. How the mighty have fallen. ;)

Yeah, I know the feeling. I'll go to great lengths to not post, just to save face. I guess I could suck it up...  ::)

Well, I was too embarassed to ask in the tech forum  :-[, I'm surprised you didn't send me to the old bit bucket.  ;D 

Besides, as Proskrito rightly points out, this is a beginners question, so I put it here.  And how did I get the rank of "mighty' anyway?  :=  That's Ok, I find it amusing as well.
