ABC (Compact 2013)

3/28/2014

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

Syntax

typedef struct _ABC {
  int abcA; 
  UINT abcB; 
  int abcC; 
} ABC, *PABC; 

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.

Remarks

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.
