[Gambas-user] Text-Wrapping

[Brian G]

Sorry Forgot to include the formatted output:

  Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing
a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed. A 
yellow dressinggown, ungirdled, was sustained gently behind him
on the mild morning air. He held the bowl aloft and intoned:

"Introibo ad altare Dei."

Halted, he peered down the dark winding stairs and called out 
coarsely:

"Come up, Kinch! Come up, you fearful jesuit!"

Solemnly he came forward and mounted the round gunrest. He fac-
ed about and blessed gravely thrice the tower, the surrounding 
land and the awaking mountains. Then, catching sight of Stephen
Dedalus, he bent towards him and made rapid crosses in the air,
gurgling in his throat and shaking his head. Stephen Dedalus, 
displeased and sleepy, leaned his arms on the top of the stair-
case and looked coldly at the shaking gurgling face that bless-
ed him, equine in its length, and at the light untonsured hair,
grained and hued like pale oak.
Buck Mulligan peeped an instant under the mirror and then cove-
red the bowl smartly.
"Back to barracks! he said sternly."


Thank You

The text editor wrapping algorithm is for proportional fonts and is 
based on pixels, not on characters.
