The GLYPHMETRICSFLOAT structure contains information about the placement and orientation of a glyph in a character cell.

typedef struct _GLYPHMETRICSFLOAT { // gmf   
  FLOAT      gmfBlackBoxX; 
  FLOAT      gmfBlackBoxY; 
  POINTFLOAT gmfptGlyphOrigin; 
  FLOAT      gmfCellIncX; 
  FLOAT      gmfCellIncY; 
} GLYPHMETRICSFLOAT;

    Specifies the x and y coordinates of the upper-left corner of the smallest rectangle that completely encloses the glyph.
  • gmfCellIncX
    Specifies the horizontal distance from the origin of the current character cell to the origin of the next character cell.
  • gmfCellIncY
    Specifies the vertical distance from the origin of the current character cell to the origin of the next character cell.
