Multiboard text and size

Zandose	I have a multiboard in which you can change pages and each page has different text. Based on the longest text how do you find the percent for the multiboard size?

midiway	There is no native to get it, you would have to test and find the widht for each page BTW, the width of a multibaord is determined by the width of the first line

Not what I'm looking for. My think isn't a long thing of text, but multiple separate lines which cannot be moved to the next line.

Ammorth	You could use the database of character sizes and write some function that will calculate the width of a given line.

Having a little trouble understand it. Forgetting the special things (hex-colours, \n, etc), each letter is assigned a number (see example below), which I assume is its size or how much space it takes up. How does this translate into space usage? And, vs. the multiboard size.

JASS:

    set TableDown["a"] = 877
    set TableDown["b"] = 877
    set TableDown["c"] = 806
    ...
    set TableUp["A"] = 1219
    set TableUp["B"] = 961
    set TableUp["C"] = 1041
    ...
    set TableUp["`"] = 480
    set TableUp["~"] = 892
    set TableUp["!"] = 322
    ...

That I understand. Each character (letter) takes up a different amount of space. I assume Ammorth's script uses some kind of measurement for each character, but I don't understand how it works.
