Font-size is the height of text, the width is changing w/ every font (e.g. i and m). If you use exactly one font, you may use an array of widths(which you measured before), but that's not really exact. Perhaps, a way would be to use temporarly gd (ttfbox and/or imagefontwidth), but I don't know how exactly, it's just an idea, regards,
