I think that's what GraphicsPath.AddString() calls but I could be wrong.
At any rate, I'll give it a shot down the road. I've decided to import .FON files for the time being.
Thanks! I'll bear this in mind.

We used it back in the day under Windows 3.1 to render TrueType fonts into bitmaps for use in our commercial ink-jet printers. There are other calls in that same area that give you character metrics and other useful information for your application.

fwiw: I wonder if what you observe is the result of the quantizing/hinting of outline-based fonts for display/rasterization at different point sizes.

I thought about that, but it doesn't seem like it, because the padding is consistent (in terms of physical proportions) as you increase the size. There seems to be some internal box layout (similar to CSS margins/padding) but I can't control it.
I could be wrong of course. Being on the outside looking in when it comes to the implementation of this there's always the possibility, but I'm more confident than not about this.

I found these little guys in a (Oklahoma) tree. Anyone know their species?

Good call. My youngster said it was a wheel bug when he first showed it to me, but when I went to search for it, all I found was the adult, which obviously looks different.
Thanks.

Good think I'm not an arachnophobe.

Only really possible in a no-show political appointment.
Political Appointment? Italy. Ooops - that makes it all clear.
The person who was appointed to keep track of this sort of thing has been gone at least twenty years . . .

Sadly not so. I won't go into any detail as things ended very badly (thinking of family) but someone I went to school with was caught after many years in a very different profession, having never turned up to work but was being paid.

I'm not in Italy, but still, as someone who sees his tax dollars wasted on "public sector workers", I'm not applauding this..."accomplishment".
Fire his ass. Recover the money. Scare the other ones into doing something useful for a change.

If you get 15 years of retirement in life, would you like that to be in your 20's - 30's or your 60's - 70's ? This guy beat the system.

Yes, it is very common even more now that I have been in the industry a long time. Mainly the younger people entering the industry don't understand some of the more cryptic tasks and may find it boring. Developers normally get pulled in because we organize data and understand layering and lets face it. We truly like to script and manage systems that way because we don't want to enter more information manually.

My box of hats I wear ranges from Solution Architect to Tech Support, with some policy and procedure work thrown into the mix. 
I like the variety to some extent but at times the "squirrels" don't play well with my primary job functions. Of course I create some of that myself as it's rare that I slink back into my cave, shut the phone off, and dedicate myself to the task at hand. Purely my fault.

anyone with any experience has fullfilled multiple roles. I have always been a person who likes to code. But during my 30 years I have been,
Programmer
System Analyst.
DB architect - alot
Team Lead
Documentation Writer - I really suck at this
Graphic Artist - I really enjoy this.
System Admin
Claims Entry person - actually figured out you have to do the job of the person you are trying to help. The walk a mile in their shoes thing. It works.
Program Manager
and lastly IT Manager (which is all of the above at once)
so yes I can do lots. I prefer writing code and automating things the most though.
