Get Text Rect ignoring Bold

[AQ1]

I am attempting to use the advice in:

http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/5010DF2DF4D443AF86256FAF0008F498

to autosize a string indicator in LabVIEW 8.6.

Get Text Rect seems to be returning the same horizontal size irrespective of whether font is set to Bold or not?

You are trying to use "Application Font" for a user font. You should be specifying an actual font name, like Garamond. Also, you need to wire the "desired font" input and set its value to "User-specified font".

Also: the sequence frame is completely unnecessary, as is the local variable. Just use a wire to connect String Input to String Output to the Get Text Rect VI.
