DrawText, Scale and world transformation

Hi

I want to scale a text using GDI DrawTextEx Function, so I do the folowing;

Code:

---


UINT uFormat = DT_WORDBREAK;

pDC->SetGraphicsMode(GM_ADVANCED);
pDC->SetMapMode(MM_TEXT);

pDC->DrawTextEx(sText,rcDest,uFormat,NULL); //Draw the text at its initial size

XFORM xForm;
xForm.eM11 = 2.0; //scale by 2.0
xForm.eM12 = 0.0;
xForm.eM21 = 0.0;
xForm.eM22 = 2.0; //scale by 2.0
xForm.eDx = 0.0;
xForm.eDy = 0.0;

pDC->ModifyWorldTransform(&xForm,MWT_LEFTMULTIPLY);

pDC->DrawTextEx(sText,rcDest,uFormat,NULL); //Draw the scaled text

---

the text is well scaled, but has a little difference with the original text, sometimes the scaled text does not fit in the rectangle, and some times when the original text is on 2 lines the scaled one is on one line?

what am I doing wrong?

thank you

Hm... In your code sample, I can't see at all how the text would be scaled. Where does your xForm come in? I don't see that it's being used at all.

Sorry I forgot :

Code:

---

pDC->ModifyWorldTransform(&xForm,MWT_LEFTMULTIPLY);

I modified the post...
