函数GetTextMetrics可以获取一个字体文本度量并将它放入一个类型为TEXTMETRIC的数据结构中，该结构如下所示:
typedef struct ta
TEXTMETRIC
The TEXTMETRIC structure contains basic information about a physical font. All sizes are specified in logical units; that is, they depend on the current mapping mode of the display context.typedef struct tagTEXTMETRIC {
LONG tmHeight; LONG tmAscent; LONG tmDescent; LONG tmInternalLeading; LONG tmExternalLeading; LONG tmAveCharWidth; LONG tmMaxCharWidth; LONG tmWeight; LONG tmOverhang; LONG tmDigitizedAspectX; LONG tmDigitizedAspectY; TCHAR tmFirstChar; TCHAR tmLastChar; TCHAR tmDefaultChar; TCHAR tmBreakChar; BYTE tmItalic; BYTE tmUnderlined; BYTE tmStruckOut; BYTE tmPitchAndFamily; BYTE tmCharSet; } TEXTMETRIC, *PTEXTMETRIC; MemberstmHeight 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 the 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 not in the font. tmBreakChar Specifies the value of the character that will 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 information about the pitch, the technology, and the family of a physical font. The four low-order bits of this member specify information about the pitch and the technology of the font. A constant is defined for each of the four bits.gTEXTMETRIC { // tm
