TextDrawLetterSize

| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| text | The TextDraw to change |
| Float:x | Width of a char. |
| Float:y | Height of a char. |
Returns
This function does not return any specific values.
Examples
new Text: gMyTextdraw;
public OnGameModeInit()
{
gMyTextdraw = TextDrawCreate(100.0, 33.0,"Example TextDraw");
TextDrawLetterSize(gMyTextdraw, 3.2 ,5.1);
return 1;
}
Notes
tip
When using this function purely for the benefit of affecting the TextDraw box, multiply 'Y' by 0.135 to convert to TextDrawTextSize-like measurements. Hint: it is easier and extremely precise to use LD_SPAC:white sprite for box-only textdraws, TextDrawTextSize will have regular offsets.
tip
If you want to change the letter size of a textdraw that is already shown, you don't have to recreate it. Simply use TextDrawShowForPlayer/TextDrawShowForAll after modifying the textdraw and the change will be visible. Fonts appear to look the best with an X to Y ratio of 1 to 4 (e.g. if x is 0.5 then y should be 2).
