c# get the width of char with given font

If you need precision, you can use MeasureCharacterRanges.

Note that MeasureString adds aditional space.

But MeasureCharacterRanges is complex to use. It returns a Region for each CharacterRange and you need dispose it.

Dim cr2Xact(1) As CharacterRange
Dim sf_xact As New StringFormat(StringFormat.GenericTypographic)
cr2Xact(0).Length = l1
cr2Xact(1).First = p2
cr2Xact(1).Length = l2

sf_xact.SetMeasurableCharacterRanges(cr2Xact)
Dim rgn = ig.MeasureCharacterRanges(Descr, f, rb, sf_xact)
x3 = x0 + CInt(rgn(0).GetBounds(ig).Width)
x4 = x0 + CInt(rgn(1).GetBounds(ig).Width)
rgn(0).Dispose() : rgn(1).Dispose()
