ABC Structure

The ABC structure has the following form:

typedef struct _ABC { /* abc */
    int     abcA;
    UINT    abcB;
    int     abcC;
} ABC;

The ABC structure contains the width of a character in a TrueType® font.

Members

abcA

Specifies the A spacing of the character. The A spacing is the distance to add to the current position before drawing the character glyph.

abcB

Specifies the B spacing of the character. The B spacing is the width of the drawn portion of the character glyph.

abcC

Specifies the C spacing of the character. The C spacing is the distance to add to the current position to provide white space to the right of the character glyph.

Comments

The total width of a character is the summation of the A, B, and C spaces. Either the A or the C space can be negative to indicate underhangs or overhangs.
