The ABC structure contains the width of a character in a TrueType font.

typedef struct _ABC { // abc 
    int     abcA; 
    UINT    abcB; 
    int     abcC; 
} ABC; 
 

Members

abcA

Specifies the "A" spacing of the character. The "A" spacing is the distance to add to the current position before drawing the character glyph.

abcB

Specifies the "B" spacing of the character. The "B" spacing is the width of the drawn portion of the character glyph.

abcC

Specifies the "C" spacing of the character. The "C" spacing is the distance to add to the current position to provide white space to the right of the character glyph.

Remarks

The total width of a character is the summation of the "A," "B," and "C" spaces. Either the "A" or the "C" space can be negative to indicate underhangs or overhangs.
