Canvas text size
Posted on 2001-08-06
I want to print a number on form canvas. The number is inside a box.
In a procedure I wrote
Var Rect : TRect;
begin
Rect := ...
canvas.font.height := rect.bottom -rect.top - 5;
textrect(rect.left, rect.top, inttostr(Num));
end;
I found the size of the number was changed with the rect's size, but it's smallest size is about 6,how can I let it smaller?

Hi,
I think you don 't use a TrueType - Font.
Try to set the font to a TrueType Font:
Var Rect : TRect;
begin
Rect := ...
Canvas.Font.Name := 'MS Song'; <-- Set Font to TT - Font
canvas.font.height := rect.bottom -rect.top - 5;
textrect(rect.left, rect.top, inttostr(Num));
end;
Now the smallest size should be 1 !!!

Hi,
The MS Sans Serif is not a TrueType Font.
If you want to know if a Font is a TrueType Font
you can look at the FontDialog.
Just klick on [...] at the "FONT" Property of any
component which used this property.
If a TT-Glyph will be display on the left side of the
FontName (in the ListBox) then it is a TrueType Font.
