GpiCreateLogFont size problem with discrete sizes (longint)

[Martin Vieregg]

I have got a problem with a print preview function where the size of a font is calculated via the actual window size. Changing the window sizes makes ugly font size steps, because  the FATTRS. lAveCharWidth parameter for GpiCreateLogFont is a integer and not a floating point parameter. The typical values are about 10, so there are 10% steps which really looks ugly.

Other programs manage the problem, e.g. PDF viewers or OpenOffice. Is there a substitute for GpiCreateLogFont or how can I solve this problem?

You can use GpiSetCharBox in conjunction with GpiCreateLogFont to get finer control over font sizes.
