Hello, does anyone know a coldfusion function like the PHP Imagettffbbox (http://php.net/manual/en/function.imagettfbbox.php) ?

No, not that I am aware of. This may help: http://cfsearching.blogspot.com/2008/01/measuring-image-text-width-and-height.html Or this: http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1150-GetTextDimensions-For-Finding-ColdFusion-Image-Text-Dimensions.htm If that doesn't do the trick you would most probably have to dig around in the Java API to tease that info out. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/ HTH G!

You are right, there is no built in CF function. You will need to use java as shown in those two links. If it is only a single line of text, all you need is Textlayout or FontMetrics.getStringBounds(). Both return the bounding box, with slight differences ie visual versus logical bounds. -Leigh
