Return value

Returns S_OK if the ABC width of the glyph is retrieved. The function returns a nonzero HRESULT value if it does not succeed.

Remarks

This function is limited in its usefulness. For example, it is useful for drawing glyph charts. It should not be used for ordinary complex script text formatting.

Important Starting with Windows 8: To maintain the ability to run on Windows 7, a module that uses Uniscribe must specify Usp10.lib before gdi32.lib in its library list.
