Summary:

Chapter 9 of the "Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit Reference

Volume 2" version 3.0 lists the valid GDI functions that an

application can use in a metafile. However, on page 9-17, DrawText()

is incorrectly listed as a valid function. DrawText() is not a valid

metafile function and there are no plans at present to change this.

Some printers can only support metafile functions. For a complete

description of the problems related to using nonmetafile functions on

banding devices, please query on the following words:
