MeasureString() pads the text on the left and the right

Question

I\'m using GDI+ in C++. (This issue might exist in C# too).

I notice that whenever I call Graphics::MeasureString() or Graphics::DrawString(), the string is padded

Answer 1

Append StringFormat.GenericTypographic will fix your issue:

graphics->MeasureString(L"PP", 1, font, width, StringFormat.GenericTypographic);

Apply the same attribute to DrawString.
