Thank you for your help. Pardon the ignorance, but I have 3 questions:
- I don't understand this comment. Why is it there? #$mw->fontNames
- What is the use of the %d variable?
- Why was the command $font->measure( $text ) placed after the print command?
UPDATE: I must be missing something. I thought I would put the name of the font of my choice from my system in place of the 'system' in your code. No matter what font I put there, even a very wide one like Trajan Pro, I get the same pixel width.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
