Texas CS Dept., Austin, Texas Lines: 8 Keywords: Fonts, nil pointers, undocumented behavior Summary: Now I understand Of course, how silly of me. StdTxMeas also affects its parameters numer, denom and FontInfo. That's why I can't just return 0 in the case I described. I was fiddling around with my program when it showed me an insertion point the size of the Empire state building. I kind of feel like I just put on "The Teacher" of Star Trek's "Spock's Brain" episode. I'm sure that this feeling of intelligence will fade, just like it did for Dr. McCoy.
