GetMetrics normally works.
I had adapted MS code for more precise calculations with GetOverhangMetrics in
CScrollingText.cpp
(inside OnPaintProc)

I need an approach to get the text width and height (like getBoundingClientRect() in DOM) in DirectWrite/Direct2D.
I know IDWriteTextLayout::GetMetrics() but, the width and height seems doesn't right. Is there built-in helper method to achieve this in DirectWrite?

or with inline objects (How to Add Inline Objects to a Text Layout)
