"TextWidth" always returns zero

[orangetek]

Hi, what am i doing wrong?

Code: Select all

loginwindow = OpenWindow(#PB_Any, 0, 0, 400, 300, "", #PB_Window_BorderLess | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
canvas = CanvasGadget(#PB_Any, 0, 0, 400, 300)
text.s = "test"

If StartDrawing(CanvasOutput(canvas))
  Debug "Text Width: " + TextWidth(text) ; <---- Always Zero ??
  Debug "Text Height: " + TextHeight(text)
  DrawText(0, 0, text)
  StopDrawing()
EndIf

Brave browser "cross-site fingerprinting blocked" .. so its a browser issue, but only on width? how strange

interesting:

These are some of the characteristics of your device and browser that fingerprints can collect:

Extensions you use
Operating system and model of your device
Screen resolution and language
Information about your network connection
Fonts installed on your computer

but only on width?

Width and Height are determined differently.

Code: Select all

function spider_TextWidth(a) {
    return Math.ceil(spider.drawing.context.measureText(a).width)
}

and

Code: Select all

function spider_TextHeight(a) {
    a = spider_2ddrawing_getTextHeight(spider.drawing.context.font);
    return a.ascent + a.descent
}

For this reason measureText(a).width is probably responsible for the error message
