    Is there an established reliable way to calculate how long a element of text will be in Pixels?

    I'm currently using the likes of GUI.Label() and while it accepts a rectangle to define the label boundary I've not see a way of calculating the size of a piece of text.

    Many of the GUI functions have the option of using a GUIStyle parameter. GUIStyle has a method called CalcSize that gives you the rectangle that an element will occupy if rendered with that style.
