Italic last characters invisible in label control

[Egbert Zijlema]

In a static, %SS_RIGHT aligned control (label) I want to display some text using an italic font. Unf. the last characters of each line are only partially visible. Adding a normal space - CHR$(32) - as the last character, causes that the text lines are no longer exactly aligned. Is there a possibility to add an m-space (or an n-space) instead?

Egbert,

I tried duplicating the disappearing text with an italic font, but could not on a single or multi line label. It could be the font, as I didn't try every font I have, but of that I am not certain.

What font are you using to display the text with?

Strange thing, Adam.
In my app. it happens with Arial, 14 points. Because the application is too large to post just for the sake of 1 problematic control, I tried to duplicate it. Same experience as you had: no match! Thanks for giving it a try, anyway.

You could trying making that label control owner-draw (SS_OWNERDRAW) then draw the text yourself with DrawText or TextOut with right alignment after selecting your font into the control's DC at painting time (WM_DRAWITEM).
