    Posted: 14 Mar 13 at 11:48AM
When I draw the same texts with same font name and same size, but differing in weight and style (normal/bold/italic/bolditalic), then they end up with different heights. Why are they not all the same height, like in Microsoft Word or OpenOffice Writer? How can I fix it? I know I could adjust line spacing, but it doesn't help if the text contains combination of normal parts and bold parts, because then even every line of the single text can have different height.
I tried Arial and Times New Roman and the heights were different. With Courier New it's even more weird. Not only the heights are different, but there are also some gaps between lines (visible when you select the text in Adobe Reader) and bold text is shifted down (in relation to normal/italic/bolditalic text with DrawHTMLText).
So how can I make all the texts the same height? And can I do it also with Courier New?
