Define character/font width?
Sun, 05 Oct 2008 12:58:41 +0800
Hello,
I've got the problem that I work with 2 fonts which unfortunately have

the font width or character width? In MS Word you can extend characters
(make them wider) without changing the height - that's exactly what I
want to do.

What is the general rule? How can you be sure of doing the right thing? I've

Does everything need disposing?
I've been using Webrequest, Webresponse, Strea ...
