SYMPTOMS
On a Hewlett-Packard (HP) DeskJet printer, after you use the SetTextJustification function to add extra space to the break characters in a string of text, the GetTextExtenPoint32 function may not return the correct value.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the SetTextJustification function does not align the text for your HP DeskJet printer.
