GPUTCHRP function does not have a help page yet, so to explain it:
GPUTCHRP for drawing takes the exact same parameters as
GPUTCHR but draws the text like it was a proportional font. To do this, it appears that blank space is removed from the left and right sides of the characters and a 1px gap (before scaling) is padded between the characters so they aren't touching. This is how it can work with any existing font (presumably; I've checked with both default fonts.) Note that the gap is always inserted after the width adjustment, so characters that would touch at the sides in monospace, like the box drawing symbols, will be drawn with a 1px gap between them; these symbols aren't intended to be mixed in proportional text anyway, so it's not a big deal.
So people drawing custom fonts can continue drawing them to look nice in monospace and
GPUTCHRP will apply this adjustment automatically. This doesn't give you much control over the character spacing and alignment like the monospace text would but it's an option to make text look a bit nicer. Maybe you can realign symbols and use 1% opacity pixels to force the algorithm to leave more empty space, for symbols like punctuation.
There's also a mode to check the width of the text when drawn in
GPUTCHRP.
GPUTCHRP(text[,font[,scalex,scaley]])
This returns the width in pixels of the text when drawn in proportional mode with the given font and scale settings. There is no equivalent for normal
GPUTCHR because that's a simple calculation anyone can do.
In other text related news, they fixed the "bug" that font changes didn't affect the editor. I assumed this was by design but enough people must've complained about it.
They killed my son, they didn't fix function key games.
And you could click a button and bam, a to-do list would be generated and saved.
The reason why I'm not making it right now is because I'm both busy and I suck at writing things that parse things
