Nope... just by chance, try changing the width variable where you get the font dimensions.
I had some problems with variables named: W and H, where my program would crash..
Seems to be a random FB problem.. not sure though..

Changing the variable names to ww and hh, respectively, fixed the problem.

stuff Go talk to any native english kid in the age 8-20, how do they speak? Proper grammar? How do they type most of the time? Proper grammar? Just because the books about grammar say one thing, does not mean it's the most common, or the "normal" It's pretty much the same anywhere, for ex...

Noone uses grammatically correct english. Infact, very few people actually speak english at all. Why? Languages evolve. And you're right, many english sentences are 5-6 words long, however there's also many that are only 2-3 words long. And it's not like I have any sort of knowledge about this.. I h...

As Einstein said, time is relative to the observer, so time has to exist as a dimensional extension of the three spatial dimensions (or has a high order dimension encapsulating the three spatial dimensions). As you approach the speed of light, time seems to slow down for the traveler as observed fr...

Time is not a dimenions, or a unit.
A simple check.. what time is it now?
I bet we'll get as many answers as users on the forum (assuming everyone reply)

It's just a popular sci-fi influenced wrong that the 4th dimension is time.

As time for one doesent exist.

Yagl has a nifty function called YagGfxFont_getTextDimensions

You use it as such:
YagGfxFont_getTextDimensions( myFONT, myText$, width, height )

Width and height will now hold the size of that text in pixels, after that it's easy to work out the proper offset to place the text at
