Still there:

f.paragraphs[ 0 ].endHorizontalOffset
Result: 187.566284179688
f.paragraphs[ 1 ].endHorizontalOffset
Result: 187.314725875854

It's weird, visually the second line is about 0.06" longer than the first, but that's not what ID says. kerningMethod is set to Optical. No significant difference with Metrics.

I've tried using paragraphs[ i ].insertionPoints.lastItem().horizontalOffset, but that's not even close to correct.

I've tried using lines instead of paragraphs, output is the same regardless. I've tried different kerning and tracking values, nothing seems to make any difference.

I just looks and smells like a measurement bug to me.

Thoughts and/or workarounds?

Bob
