Paint.RichTextExtents (gb.qt4)

Static Function RichTextExtents ( Text As String [ , Width As Float ] ) As PaintExtents

Gets the extents for a string of rich text.

The extents describe a user-space rectangle that encloses the "inked" portion of the text, as it would be drawn by Paint.RichText and Paint.Fill with no transformation matrix.

This function is an equivalent of:

Dim hTextExtents as PaintExtents
Dim sText as String

Paint.NewPath
Paint.Reset
Paint.RichText(sText)

hTextExtents = Paint.PathExtents

As just a path is created, colors defined by the <font> markup are not taken into account.
