SUMMARY
The OUTLINETEXTMETRIC structure ends with four fields of type PSTR. The four fields in question are not actually absolute pointers. They are
offsets from the beginning of the OUTLINETEXTMETRIC structure to the
strings in question, as the documentation indicates:
otmpFamilyName
Specifies the offset from the beginning of the structure to a
string specifying the family name for the font.
otmpFaceName
Specifies the offset from the beginning of the structure to a
string specifying the face name for the font. (This face name
corresponds to the name specified in the LOGFONT structure.)
otmpStyleName
Specifies the offset from the beginning of the structure to a
string specifying the style name for the font.
otmpFullName
Specifies the offset from the beginning of the structure to a
string specifying the full name for the font. This name is
unique for the font and often contains a version number or
other identifying information.
The only difference between this structure in Windows 3.1 and Windows NT is
that the strings may be stored in either Unicode or ASCII under Windows NT.
