Spacing of characters in WMF

Post by Ed » Tue May 31, 2005 7:38 pm

I am getting a few complains from users in printing out a chart that contain the word 'Growth'--it appears that that there is a space between the 'w' and the 't', i.e. 'Grow th'. I have reproduced this in a demo that shows a similar problem at run time with a WMF image (but it does not occur with a bitmap (there is a check box in the demo to show this) or if I directly print the chart to the printer, i.e. Chart1.Print).

The demo can be downloaded from:

www.retireneeds.com/files/TeeChartGrowthSpacing.zip

Note that the problem is more apparent in a print out.

Any suggestions on solving this?

Thanks

Hi Ed,

Thank you very much for your demo but it seems to work fine here using latest TeeChart version (v7.04). Which TeeChart version are you using?

7.04. The problem is much more subtle when showing in the graphics adapter vs. the printer. But the ‘w’ and ‘t’ do not touch vs. all of the other characters do. A few of my users see ‘grow’ and ‘th’ as separate words.

Hi Ed,

maybe the problem is the video card driver. Have you tried another compatible video card driver (check if there's a new version in the manufacturer web).
