A ttf, or otf. Really I just want to specify a font on my Windows system. The actual code I will use is much more complex, but seeing I can't even get the basic idea of measuring the string, I figured it would be better to make a simple program to test it first. | [reply] |

AFAIK the Font::Freetype suite can render you at least one given symbol. Assuming that spacing between characters will be constant, you can calculate the size of any string, using these data.
But there is also Font::TTF, which I didn't used before - start reading from this point, I guess.
