The basic information you need can be found at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/gdi/fontext_2mnn.asp?frame=true This discusses several topics, including the logical grid against which TrueType fonts are designed. The following reference is more specific: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/gdi/fontext_569e.asp?frame=true This discusses the _OUTLINETEXTMETRIC structure, which includes the otmEMSquare uint, which is the length in logical units of the grid square for the font. The next reference is about the GetOutlineTextMetrics function, which returns this information: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/gdi/fontext_6lyr.asp?frame=true In the future, if you have any more questions along these lines, try the following newsgroup: microsoft.public.win32.programmer.gdi -- HTH, Kevin Spencer Microsoft MVP Professional Numbskull Hard work is a medication for which there is no placebo.
