This is simply impossible to do on the server side, in part because you don't know exactly what font substitutions might be made. The only way to compute the pixel size of a string is to know the exact pixel width of all of the font glyphs in the string, plus any kerning rules that might be used. You do not have that information, and you cannot get that information. You'll have to use CSS. -- Tim Roberts, timr@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc.
