surface.GetTextSize broken?

[Hardy]

Looks like it's broken, because it always returns same values not depending on font at all.
Example:

	local dummy = "" 
	for i=1, 60 do
		dummy = dummy.." "
	end
	surface.SetFont("ScoreboardText")
	local width, height = surface.GetTextSize(dummy)
	print(width, height)

and

	local dummy = "" 
	for i=1, 60 do
		dummy = dummy.." "
	end
	surface.SetFont("ChatboxText")
	local width, height = surface.GetTextSize(dummy)
	print(width, height)

Returning exactly same - 360 width and 21 height.
(ScoreboardText and ChatboxText is different fonts with different sizes)

Is this in a gamemode you're making?

Is ChatboxText a custom font of yours, cause the default chat font is called ChatFont. If the font doesn't exist, I suspect it could fuck up.

Also, use string.rep( "String", Repetitions ) instead of that for loop.

[Hardy]

ChatboxText is custom font, yes, but it created and works:
surface.CreateFont("Tahoma", ScreenScale(8), 600, true, false, "ChatboxFont")

If you're doing this in a gamemode and its deriving from base, make sure you didn't override the GM:Initialize, and if you did, be sure to call self.BaseClass.Initialize( self ) inside, because that's where the font "ScoreboardText" is created.

Have you tried drawing on the screen with your ChatboxText font to ensure it works?

It's most likely something in your code as GetTextSize has always worked fine for me, unless the last update somehow broke it.

ChatboxText is 100% tested and working.
ScoreboardText is just for example.
On any font it returns 360,21
