Hi,
Is there any way to calculate the size of a text object, so that it will not extend beyond the size of a specific rectangle?
I work in percentage based system

You can use:
SetTextScissor( iTextIndex, x, y, x2, y2 )

This limits the text object to a specified rectangular area...so no text is drawn outside of the rectangle area you define.

To get the actual size of the text displayed in pixels, you can use
GetTextTotalWidth( iTextIndex )
GetTextTotalHeight( iTextIndex )

These will give you how many pixels the text object is wide and how high.
