How to get working Font:getTextSize

xperiments · Post by **xperiments** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 10:03 pm

I cant get a return value from Font:getTextSize('ajjjjja')

example

standard = Font.load('standard.ttf')
standard:setPixelSizes(0,8)

test = standard:getTextSize('some text')

now test = nil.... ummm??? not a table or object
where can I get textWidth & textHeight values?

Anyone can help me ?

Have you tried it on LuaPlayer v0.16?

In v0.15 the variable returns as nil. I would suggest updating. That may aleviate your problem.

I didn't tested this function and as Murphy's law says, it doesn't work. I've added it to the bugs section at http://wiki.ps2dev.org/psp:lua_player:todos for the next release.
