TEXTMETRIC Structure

The TEXTMETRIC structure has the following form:

typedef struct tagTEXTMETRIC {  /* tm */
    int  tmHeight;
    int  tmAscent;
    int  tmDescent;
    int  tmInternalLeading;
    int  tmExternalLeading;
    int  tmAveCharWidth;
    int  tmMaxCharWidth;
    int  tmWeight;
    BYTE tmItalic;
    BYTE tmUnderlined;
    BYTE tmStruckOut;
    BYTE tmFirstChar;
    BYTE tmLastChar;
    BYTE tmDefaultChar;
    BYTE tmBreakChar;
    BYTE tmPitchAndFamily;
    BYTE tmCharSet;
    int  tmOverhang;
    int  tmDigitizedAspectX;
    int  tmDigitizedAspectY;
} TEXTMETRIC;

The TEXTMETRIC structure contains basic information about a physical font. All sizes are given in logical units; that is, they depend on the current mapping mode of the display context.

For more complete information about this structure, see in the Win32 SDK documentation.
