Hi guys, i got another little "problem".
I used the font "Monospaced" so that the letters are all the same size, but how do i get the width of a letter so i can center a text with every length in my screen? Are there any Ideas to this?

Size of Fonts
Take a look into the FontMetrics class, particularly its charswidth method.
Something like this:
String text;
Graphics2D g;
...
FontMetrics fm = g.getFontMetrics();
int width = fm.charsWidth(text.toCharArray(), 0, text.length());
g.drawString(text, middleXCoord - width / 2, y);
...
g.dispose();
ah ok thanks, the class i have to import is import java.awt.FontMetrics; right?
i have imported this but he cant find getFontMetrics()
Correct. And getFontMetrics belongs to the Graphics/Graphics2D class. The variable g should be assigned:
if you are using GreenfootImage,
g = myGreenfootImage.getAwtImage().createGraphics();
with graphics import its still not working whats wrong with this?
FontMetrics fm = getFontMetrics(new Font("MONOSPACED",Font.BOLD,50));
getBackground().drawString("Highscore Top 5",getBackground().getWidth()/2-fm.StringWidth("Highscore Top 5")/2,50);hui its working great thanks to you bourne ;)
but i think its stupid that i need so much code just for centerering my text, but jeah
