Stretching the X or Y Axis on System.Graphics.DrawString

Question

Is there a way to stretch the X or Y axis when calling System.Graphics.DrawString? We are working on laying out a graphics image (which is actually going to be printed) where it would be nice to make a particular piece of text say 125% higher than it's normal height (while maintaining the same width). Is there a best way to do this?

Answer 1

Sure, Graphics.ScaleTransform() works fine as long as you use Graphics.DrawString() instead of TextRenderer. Keep it modest, stretched text doesn't look that good. 125% ought to be okayish.
