[comp.windows.ms.programmer] How to GetFontCap??

cy03+@andrew.cmu.edu (Chao-Ping Yang) (01/30/91)

I am having a great deal of difficulties in dealing with fonts to achive
true WYSIWYG. Mostly because of inconsistant behaviors of various
different fonts that could present in the system. While EnumAllFonts
tells me whether a font is RASTER_FONTTYPE (or DEVICE_FONTTYPE), you
can't really tell whether that font is scalable/rotatable, since that
depends on whether there is something like ATM in the system. Now
suppose you test to find out there is ATM, you still can not be certain
because I found the Courier font of ATM is not scalable/rotatable after
certain small size....
Should I give up and wait for Win3.1's TrueType? or is there a way to
GetFontCap at the given font size?
I did not get anything out of MSOnline for questions like these, hope some
one on the net can help me.

Thanks.
