Font Kerning

[jjvainav]

I am trying to accomplish Kerning, so far I have it somewhat working. By using the win32 function [DllImport("gdi32.dll", EntryPoint= "SetTextCharacterExtra")] public static extern int SetTextCharacterExtra(IntPtr hdc, int nCharExtra); I am getting spacing between characters. The issue is no matter what value I put for the nCharExtra parameter the spacing is always the same. Here is how I am trying to do it. win32.SetTextCharacterExtra(g.Graphics.GetHdc(), horizontalSpacing); g.ReleaseHdc(); g.DrawString(holdText, this.Font, new SolidBrush(this.ForeColor), 0, 2); I have also tried doing IntPtr hdc = e.Graphics.GetHdc(); Rect bounds = new Rect(e.ClipRectangle); win32.SetTextCharacterExtra(hdc, horizontalSpacing); win32.SetBkMode(hdc, win32.TRANSPARENT); win32.SetBkColor(hdc, ColorTranslator.ToWin32(Color.Black)); win32.DrawText(hdc, holdText, holdText.Length, ref bounds, win32.DT_LEFT); Does anyone know a solution to this issue, or another way in which I can accomplish Kerning? Thanks, Jeremy
