you can do it if you use the True Type font addon (i believe), that ive seen floating around on the forums. Just try searching for it.

Is there a way to get the text size? I mean I say 'hello' and it is 80x16 pixels, is there a way?

use font->getTextDimension() to get the size. This doesn't work with text with newlines, you'll have to split it yourself.

Sorry to revive this thread but this function does not exist, how can I get the size of a text drawn with draw()? Thanks

if you look at IGUIFont in the api (docu) you'll find that the function is called
IGUIFont::getDimension(const wchar_t *text) ...
Just learn how to use the docu...
