Post subject:  XGraphics.MeasureString ignoring trailing spaces
Hi forums,

Is there a way to have XGraphics.MeasureString not ignore trailing spaces? This code:

Code:
   
    text = "test:  ";
    graphics.DrawString(text, font, brush, drawpoint);
    drawpoint.X += graphics.MeasureString(text, font).Width;
    text = "stuff";
    graphics.DrawString(text, font, brush, drawpoint);
    drawpoint.X = 0;
    drawpoint.Y += graphics.MeasureString(text, font).Height;
    text = "test:  stuff";
    graphics.DrawString(text, font, brush, drawpoint);
    drawpoint.X = 0;
    drawpoint.Y += graphics.MeasureString(text, font).Height;
    text = "test:";
    graphics.DrawString(text, font, brush, drawpoint);
    drawpoint.X += graphics.MeasureString(text, font).Width;
    text = "  stuff";
    graphics.DrawString(text, font, brush, drawpoint);


draws:

test:stuff
test: stuff
test: stuff

The first test is ignoring the two trailing spaces at the end of "test", and the other two operate as expected. I need to be able to accomodate trailing spaces. Is there any way around this, or will I have to mess around with the source code?

In case this never gets a response, this is my current workaround:

I use my own wrapper methods for most of PDFSharp's methods. In my MeasureString method, I append a character to the end of the string to measure, measure this modified string, then subtract the width of that character from the measurement.

pseudocode:
Code:
function wrapMeasureString(text, font)
  teststring = text + ".";
  size = MeasureString(teststring, font);
  size.width -= MeasureString(".", font).Width;
  return size;
