Draw character in center of custom control - Font

I'm trying to build custom user control that will display Font Awesome Glyphs inside winforms Button.
I found GitHub repo with similar control, but I would like to use Button as base of my control.
I'm able to show glyph, but I can't align it correctly:

Green dotted line shows button size, blue lines indicates center of control and red lines show rectangle that graphics.MeasureString is returning.

My OnPaint method looks like this:

    protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnPaint(e);

        var graphics = e.Graphics;
        // Set best quality
        graphics.TextRenderingHint = System.Drawing.Text.TextRenderingHint.AntiAliasGridFit;
        graphics.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBilinear;

        if(!DesignMode)
        {
            graphics.PixelOffsetMode = PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality;
            graphics.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
        }

        var letter = char.ConvertFromUtf32((int)_icon);

        Brush b;
        if (!Enabled)
        {
            b = Brushes.LightGray;
        }
        else if (_mouseDown)
        {
            b = new SolidBrush(_clickColor);
        }
        else if (_mouseOver)
        {
            b = new SolidBrush(_hoverColor);
        }
        else
        {
            b = new SolidBrush(ForeColor);
        }

        SizeF s = graphics.MeasureString(letter, new Font(Fonts.Families[0], _iconSize, GraphicsUnit.Point), Width);

        float w = s.Width;
        float h = s.Height;

        // center icon
        float left = Padding.Left + (Width - w)/2;
        float top = Padding.Top + (Height - h)/2;

        if (DesignMode)
        {
            graphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.Red, top, left, w, h);
        }

        graphics.DrawString(letter, new Font(Fonts.Families[0], _iconSize, GraphicsUnit.Point), b, new PointF(left, top));

        if (DesignMode)
        {
            var pen = new Pen(_hoverColor, 1) { DashStyle = DashStyle.Dash, Alignment = PenAlignment.Inset };
            graphics.DrawRectangle(pen, Padding.Left, Padding.Top, Width - Padding.Left - Padding.Right - 1, Height - Padding.Top - Padding.Bottom - 1);
            graphics.DrawLine(Pens.Blue, Padding.Left, Padding.Top, Width - Padding.Left, Height - Padding.Top);
            graphics.DrawLine(Pens.Blue, Width - Padding.Left, Padding.Top, Padding.Left, Height - Padding.Top);
        }
    }

I tried using solution from this question but without any luck.

How can I draw single character (glyph) in my control exact center (center of control and center of glyph should align)

All it needs is to include fontawesome_webfont.ttf in resources.

回答1:

This is from MSDN :

The MeasureString method is designed for use with individual strings and includes a small amount of extra space before and after the string to allow for overhanging glyphs. Also, the DrawString method adjusts glyph points to optimize display quality and might display a string narrower than reported by MeasureString. To obtain metrics suitable for adjacent strings in layout (for example, when implementing formatted text), use the MeasureCharacterRanges method or one of the MeasureString methods that takes a StringFormat and pass GenericTypographic. Also ensure the TextRenderingHint for the Graphics is AntiAlias.

So to make the MeasureString leave out all extra space pass in the GenericTypographic like this:

SizeF s = graphics.MeasureString(letter, new Font(Fonts.Families[0], 
          _iconSize, GraphicsUnit.Point), Width, StringFormat.GenericTypographic);

I found this to help a lot, although I haven't had to do it quite as exact as you..

回答2:

I've got best result using GraphicsPath:

var path = new GraphicsPath()
path.AddString(_letter, font.FontFamily, (int) font.Style, font.Size, new Point(0, 0), StringFormat.GenericTypographic);
Rectangle area = Rectangle.Round(path.GetBounds());
