[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Get advance width of a String in a Font.

[David CHAUTARD <davidchautard@xxxxxxxxx>]

I try to use the Eric's solution but I have a new problem, as I don't 
use a String but a StyledText  (with italic, bold...). It is possible to 
get the advance of my StyledText with a GC object?

Regards,
David.
