Graphics.Drawstring Ignores Kerning Instructions?
Dec 14, 2011
I was unhappy with the kerning in one of the installed fonts on my system, so I re-defined the kerning in a font editor and installed the revised font (under a new name) on my system. When I use the new font in Microsoft Word or Adobe Photoshop, my new kerning works fine - but when I use Drawstring in a VB program, although the new font is used, the kerning instructions are ignored.Does anyone know if this a feature of the Graphics.Drawstring method, or am I failing to set a switch somewhere? If it's a feature, is there another method which kerns correctly?

I am using the e.graphics.drawstring to print labels and textboxes. One of the labels is "#". Whenever I print, although it is centered in its label on the screen, the text in the label aligns to the left. Is there a way to get it to center? This is happening with all my textboxes and labels.
e.Graphics.DrawString(lblNumber.Text, lblNumber.Font, Brushes.Black, 9, 55)

I am trying to use DrawString to write text as an image and then rotate it 90 degrees. It works fine with both a bitmap or directly on a PictureBox, but the big difference is in the quality. The PictureBox text drawn has great quality and looks nice. When I draw it on an image it looks horrible and blocky. I've made a few changes to try and get it to look nicer, but it doesn't look nearly as nice as it should.
Sample code:Use a Windows Forms project and place 2 picture boxes on it and a button and run it with the following code to see what I mean:Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

I'm making a class to basically print the screen. I'm going through each field and doing a drawstring, but things aren't lining up correctly. I tracked the problem down and don't know why it's happening.Take this line of code as an example:
Me.CreateGraphics.DrawString(Label1.Text, Label1.Font, Brushes.Black, Label1.Left, Label1.Top + 30)
This should draw the same text that is in label1 directly below label1 on the form. However, the drawn text is a different length than the label's text. Courier draws shorter, Sans Serif draws longer. It's doing the same thing going to a print document; it isn't matching how the label is being rendered.

I'm a VB beginner.I've been playing with Graphics.DrawString by watermarking a picture with a text string. The picture below to the left comes from PictureBox with a text string drawn with Graphics.DrawString. The font style used is Arial 48 points, regular, I think. The picture in PictureBox shows just as I configure. Great... The resolution of the original Terri Hatcher picture is 300 dpi (300 x 300). Exporting this picture with Graphics.DrawString, I get the picture below to the right. The text string appears a lot bigger than previously shown in PictureBox. It turns out that the text size varies, depending on the resolution of the original picture. That's kind of odd. I develop several graphics applications in a different environment and have never seen this sort of graphics.drawstring thing. Anyway,
my sample application seems to draw a text string at an image resolution of

I am trying to manually adjust character spacing between letters when drawing text with GDI. I am doing this by drawing each letter at a time. The problem is that you lose all the font kerning when you do this. How to get kerning data for fonts? Presumably you would send it the letter pair you want to get the offset for. Then when I draw each letter at a time I can subtract the offset for each letter pair.

I used the TextBox to display "text instructions" for user but at run time I noticed that the text in TextBox is modifyable.Most of the time the text comes highlighted also.The instructions are a few lines per page so the label is not a good idea.

Attached is a file that creates a 3D cube, I did not make this but found it here at this site.Playing around with it I found out how to, on pressing of any key change the distance of the camera, thus changing the shade of the cube.So if you held a key down it got darker and darker.I want this to happen, but on a timer. So i created a timer, set the interval to 1 and did the same exact code. Set the timer to true, and nothing happens. Ever. I tried doing messagebox.show to show me a message every tick, and that didn't work either. So I went and broke the timer class?
[Code]...
Now i made a new application file, because I use timers all the time and it works. I copy pasted the code, and added the directx stuff, and it ..breaks my timer to do nothing at all ever.. Even if it is unrelated to my cube.

My problem is when the file I am reading contains an accented character the streamreader simply ignores this character. So if the line I read in was a 10 bytes line, it now only writes back out a 9 byte line. This is a huge issue as the file I am working with has to be a fixed length. I know there is some encoding that can be done to make this work, but know very little about it. [Code]

There is a feature I used to have in zOS assembler environment that I'd like to know if it's available in VS2010 (VB .net). In assembler it is called macro language :
First, I define a set of instructions and save it as a macro (ex: MYMACRO)
Second, anywhere in my source code I can call the macro (by adding the line "MYMACRO")
Third, when i launch the compilation/link step, the compiler implicitly replaces all the "MYMACRO" lines in the source code by the content of MYMACRO defined in first step.
Is there a feature like this in VS2010 ?
Example:
Content of macro CONTEXTSTART with a parameter &id
Try
ContextManager.Start(&id)
