ABC Structure

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

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

Parameters

• 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.
