Hi there!

How can I find out the size in pixels (width, height) of a QString painted
using a given QFont? Currently I put the QString in a QLabel and get its
sizeHint().

The purpose of this is to create a subclass of QLineEdit that will
automatically resize as the user types in text. (QLineEdit::sizeHint() is
quite useless for this purpose.)

Sometimes, the size returned by QLabel::sizeHint() is too small, and the first
character gets cut out of my LineEdit. Other times the size I get from sizeHint
is a bit too big (especially at higher font sizes).

PS: Is it okay to ask Qt-questions here on kde-devel?
