PRB: GetGlyphOutLine() Causes GPF Under Chinese Windows 3.1 (126225)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.1
This article was previously published under Q126225

SYMPTOMS

Under Traditional Chinese Windows version 3.1, if GetGlyphOutLine() is called many times (more than 1000 times) on a Chinese font that's larger than 100 points, the GDI heap will be eroded rapidly and the application will eventually fail giving a general protection (GP) fault.

RESOLUTION

If GetGlyphOutLine() needs to be called repeatedly on a Chinese font, please set the font size to be no larger than 100pt.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
