1.20 3.10 4.00 | 3.10 3.50 3.51

WINDOWS | WINDOWS NT

The units of the values in the GLYPHMETRICS structure are documented in the “Win32 Programmer’s Reference vol. 5” page 425 and the “Windows 3.1 SDK Programmer’s Reference vol. 3” page 297 as being in logical units. This is incorrect. The values in the GLYPHMETRICS structure returned by the GetGlyphOutline function call are in device units, not in logical units.
