Text metrics: X v. PostScript

Text metrics: X v. PostScript

Post by Glenn Bac » Thu, 18 Apr 1996 04:00:00



Does anybody know if the font metrics returned by XTextWidth in X ,for
example, give the same values as the equivalent PostScript commands for
the same font? If not, how does one find the appropriate values for
PostScript fonts (or can you suggest any books on the topic)?
