Members
otmSize
The size, in bytes, of the OUTLINETEXTMETRIC structure.
otmTextMetrics
A TEXTMETRIC structure containing further information about the font.
otmFiller
A value that causes the structure to be byte-aligned.
otmPanoseNumber
The PANOSE number for this font.
otmfsSelection
The nature of the font pattern. This member can be a combination of the following bits.
| Bit | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Italic |
| 1 | Underscore |
| 2 | Negative |
| 3 | Outline |
| 4 | Strikeout |
| 5 | Bold |
otmfsType
Indicates whether the font is licensed. Licensed fonts must not be modified or exchanged. If bit 1 is set, the font may not be embedded in a document. If bit 1 is clear, the font can be embedded. If bit 2 is set, the embedding is read-only.
otmsCharSlopeRise
The slope of the cursor. This value is 1 if the slope is vertical. Applications can use this value and the value of the otmsCharSlopeRun member to create an italic cursor that has the same slope as the main italic angle (specified by the otmItalicAngle member).
otmsCharSlopeRun
The slope of the cursor. This value is zero if the slope is vertical. Applications can use this value and the value of the otmsCharSlopeRise member to create an italic cursor that has the same slope as the main italic angle (specified by the otmItalicAngle member).
otmItalicAngle
The main italic angle of the font, in tenths of a degree counterclockwise from vertical. Regular (roman) fonts have a value of zero. Italic fonts typically have a negative italic angle (that is, they lean to the right).
otmEMSquare
The number of logical units defining the x- or y-dimension of the em square for this font. (The number of units in the x- and y-directions are always the same for an em square.)
otmAscent
The maximum distance characters in this font extend above the base line. This is the typographic ascent for the font.
otmDescent
The maximum distance characters in this font extend below the base line. This is the typographic descent for the font.
otmLineGap
The typographic line spacing.
otmsCapEmHeight
Not supported.
otmsXHeight
Not supported.
otmrcFontBox
The bounding box for the font.
otmMacAscent
The maximum distance characters in this font extend above the base line for the Macintosh computer.
otmMacDescent
The maximum distance characters in this font extend below the base line for the Macintosh computer.
otmMacLineGap
The line-spacing information for the Macintosh computer.
otmusMinimumPPEM
The smallest recommended size for this font, in pixels per em-square.
otmptSubscriptSize
The recommended horizontal and vertical size for subscripts in this font.
otmptSubscriptOffset
The recommended horizontal and vertical offset for subscripts in this font. The subscript offset is measured from the character origin to the origin of the subscript character.
otmptSuperscriptSize
The recommended horizontal and vertical size for superscripts in this font.
otmptSuperscriptOffset
The recommended horizontal and vertical offset for superscripts in this font. The superscript offset is measured from the character base line to the base line of the superscript character.
otmsStrikeoutSize
The width of the strikeout stroke for this font. Typically, this is the width of the em dash for the font.
otmsStrikeoutPosition
The position of the strikeout stroke relative to the base line for this font. Positive values are above the base line and negative values are below.
otmsUnderscoreSize
The thickness of the underscore character for this font.
otmsUnderscorePosition
The position of the underscore character for this font.
otmpFamilyName
The offset from the beginning of the structure to a string specifying the family name for the font.
otmpFaceName
The offset from the beginning of the structure to a string specifying the typeface name for the font. (This typeface name corresponds to the name specified in the LOGFONT structure.)
otmpStyleName
The offset from the beginning of the structure to a string specifying the style name for the font.
otmpFullName
The offset from the beginning of the structure to a string specifying the full name for the font. This name is unique for the font and often contains a version number or other identifying information.
Remarks
The sizes returned in OUTLINETEXTMETRIC are specified in logical units; that is, they depend on the current mapping mode of the specified display context.
Note, OUTLINETEXTMETRIC is defined using the current pack setting. To avoid problems, make sure that the application is built using the platform default packing. For example, 32-bit Windows uses a default of 8-byte packing. For more information, see C-Compiler Packing Issues.
Note
The wingdi.h header defines OUTLINETEXTMETRIC as an alias which automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
