Is there any way to set the bounds on a path?  I don't know if that's what I actually want to do, but it's the only thing i can think of.

I am drawing letters separately... but when I Matrix::Scale() each letter to the size that I want, the letters get screwed up.

This is what I end up with:

But I want this:

I am trying to avoid doing "DrawText("Don't");"

Hey. visit my blog

There are many examples to draw string. It may help you.

Visit easyfastsigns.com. editor. I made this editor. there is another editor in this site.

Hi and thanks for your response...

I am trying to avoid drawing the string all at once.  Basically, each glyph in the string is its own GraphicsPath.  So by the time it gets drawn, knowledge that it's a font isn't there.  I do it this way so i can add other GraphicsPaths that aren't derrived from fonts (like SVGs and the like)

So, what i need to figure out is... All glyphs have a leading/trailing space (you can see it in the second "Don't" example)  When i call Matrix::Scale, the leading/trailing space is not preserved... How to i preserve this space?

Here is a better example of what i wish to accomplish.  This is an SVG that i have rendered.  The grey dotted line around it is simply a call to GraphicsPath::GetBounds() and then the rectangle it returns is drawn.  As you can see, the space above his head, arms and bottom are preserved no matter how i call Matrix::Scale() on the GraphicsPath.

This is what i want to accomplish on a Glyph.
