This is a pretty cool site. I just happened on it accidentally while messing around online. So here, I have a question, lets see if there are any Win32 gurus around here. I''m working with a UNICODE application on Win98 and I want to get the metrics of a TrueType font. The problem is that Windows 98 does not implement the wide char version of GetOutlineTextMetrics(), which is the metrics query for TrueTypes. Calling it returns Win32 errorcode 120 or "The function may only be used in Win32 mode." Which is what Windows 98 tells you when you call a NT only function. So, when I call the GetOutlineTextMetricsA version directly (which is all I need to use), the call returns the error code "The Parameter Is Incorrect" which is an equally generic error code many functions return when there is some unspecified internal error. SO. Has anyone here every successfully acquired the metrics of a TrueType font with __UNICODE defined under Win98?

By the way, I would normally post a question like this to a Win32 newsgroup or something. I''ve already done a websearch and searched several Win32 books for information, none were useful. I never ask a question until I''ve exhausted my own search capability. Anyway, I thought I''d try out this forum.
