You need to take account of the baseline, ascent and descent of the font. You probably need pango_layout_get_pixel_extents(), see: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/pango/pango-Layout-Objects.html#pango-layout-get-pixel-extents John _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
