Measuring text width with font as org.faceless.pdf.PDFFont instance

Question

Hi!

I have text with font in org.faceless.pdf.PDFFont. How can I get width of it in px?

Thanks.

Answer 1

If you mean how to get the width in points (pixels don't really apply in PDF) then you can create a PDFStyle with that font and call PDFStyle.getTextLength() or PDFStyle.getTextWidths().
