Members
-
tmHeight
-
Specifies the height (ascent + descent) of characters.
-
tmAscent
-
Specifies the ascent (units above the base line) of characters.
-
tmDescent
-
Specifies the descent (units below the base line) of characters.
-
tmInternalLeading
-
Specifies the amount of leading (space) inside the bounds set by the tmHeight
member. Accent marks and other diacritical characters may occur in this area.
The designer may set this member to zero.
-
tmExternalLeading
-
Specifies the amount of extra leading (space) that the application adds
between rows. Since this area is outside the font, it contains no marks and is
not altered by text output calls in either OPAQUE or TRANSPARENT mode. The
designer may set this member to zero.
-
tmAveCharWidth
-
Specifies the average width of characters in the font (generally defined as
the width of the letter x). This value does not include overhang required for
bold or italic characters.
-
tmMaxCharWidth
-
Specifies the width of the widest character in the font.
-
tmWeight
-
Specifies the weight of the font.
-
tmOverhang
-
Specifies the extra width per string that may be added to some synthesized
fonts. When synthesizing some attributes, such as bold or italic, graphics
device interface (GDI) or a device may have to add width to a string on both a
per-character and per-string basis. For example, GDI makes a string bold by
expanding the spacing of each character and overstriking by an offset value;
it italicizes a font by shearing the string. In either case, there is an
overhang past the basic string. For bold strings, the overhang is the distance
by which the overstrike is offset. For italic strings, the overhang is the
amount the top of the font is sheared past the bottom of the font.
The tmOverhang member enables the application to determine how much of
the character width returned by a GetTextExtentPoint32
function call on a single character is the actual character width and how much
is the per-string extra width. The actual width is the extent minus the
overhang.
-
tmDigitizedAspectX
-
Specifies the horizontal aspect of the device for which the font was designed.
-
tmDigitizedAspectY
-
Specifies the vertical aspect of the device for which the font was designed.
The ratio of the tmDigitizedAspectX and tmDigitizedAspectY
members is the aspect ratio of the device for which the font was designed.
-
tmFirstChar
-
Specifies the value of the first character defined in the font.
-
tmLastChar
-
Specifies the value of the last character defined in the font.
-
tmDefaultChar
-
Specifies the value of the character to be substituted for characters that are
not in the font.
-
tmBreakChar
-
Specifies the value of the character to be used to define word breaks for text
justification.
-
tmItalic
-
Specifies an italic font if it is nonzero.
-
tmUnderlined
-
Specifies an underlined font if it is nonzero.
-
tmStruckOut
-
Specifies a strikeout font if it is nonzero.
-
tmPitchAndFamily
-
Specifies the pitch and family of the selected font. The low-order bit (bit 0)
specifies the pitch of the font. If it is 1, the font is variable pitch (or
proportional). If it is 0, the font is fixed pitch (or monospace). Bits 1 and
2 specify the font type. If both bits are 0, the font is a raster font; if bit
1 is 1 and bit 2 is 0, the font is a vector font; if bit 1 is 0 and bit 2 is
set, or if both bits are 1, the font is some other type. Bit 3 is 1 if the
font is a device font; otherwise, it is 0.
The four high-order bits designate the font family. The tmPitchAndFamily
member can be combined with the hexadecimal value 0xF0 by using the bitwise
AND operator and can then be compared with the font family names for an
identical match. For more information about the font families, see the LOGFONT
structure.
-
tmCharSet
-
Specifies the character set of the font.
-
ntmFlags
-
Specifies whether the font is italic, underscored, outlined, bold, and so
forth. The following list shows the bits corresponding to each font type:

-
ntmSizeEM
-
Specifies the size of the em square for the font. This value is in “notional
units” (that is, the units for which the font was designed).
-
ntmCellHeight
-
Specifies the height, in notional units, of the font. This value should be
compared with the value of the ntmSizeEM member.
-
ntmAvgWidth
-
Specifies the average width of characters in the font, in notional units. This
value should be compared with the value of the ntmSizeEM member.
Remarks
The last four members of the NEWTEXTMETRIC structure are not included
in the TEXTMETRIC structure; in all
other respects, the structures are identical.
The sizes in the NEWTEXTMETRIC structure are typically given in logical
units; that is, they depend on the current mapping mode of the display
context.
