The GetOutlineTextMetrics function retrieves text metrics for TrueType fonts.
UINT GetOutlineTextMetrics(
HDC hdc, // handle to device context
UINT cbData, // size of metric data array
LPOUTLINETEXTMETRIC lpOTM // pointer to metric data array
);
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero or the size of the required buffer.
If the function fails, the return value is zero.
Windows NT: To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
The OUTLINETEXTMETRIC structure contains most of the text metric information provided for TrueType fonts (including a TEXTMETRIC structure). The sizes returned in the OUTLINETEXTMETRIC structures are in logical units; they depend on the current mapping mode.
