Hello

I'm creating an dynamic image, which creates headers on my page using PHPs GD-library. The problem is, that I need a line-wrapping system. It's not a problem itself, but first I need to get the width (in pixels) of current character.

I'm pretty curious about this, is there any way? Or do I need to manually specify width of every abc?
