GDI+ and font sizes

[Jeff]

Hi

asp.net 3.5

I'm playing arround with GDI+ and DrawString.

One thing that I feel is strange is how small the fontsizes are.
I'm using ths font:
Font drawFont = new Font("Verdana", 4);

When when displayed on the image shows like a fontsize 10...

Why are the fontsize so small?, why cannot I just set it to 10? (If I set it
to 10 now the text will be to large)

any ideas?

The font size used "points", but not pixels.

The Font class has another constructor where you may specify units
try to call

Font drawFont = new Font("Verdana", 10, GraphicsUnit.Pixels);

to see if it helps

The unit is not what you expect ?

See : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141986.aspx that allwso to
explictely tell which unit you want...
