Using, the GDI, how do you find out the height and the width of the character in pixels?? So far I have:

	HDC hsurfacedc;
	TEXTMETRIC tm;

	if (!g_DirectXEngine.GetDirectDraw())
		return (0);

	LPDIRECTDRAWSURFACE lpddsworking = g_DirectXEngine.GetWorkingSurface();

	if (!lpddsworking)
		return (0);

	lpddsworking->GetDC(&hsurfacedc);

	if (!hsurfacedc) {
		g_ErrorLog.ProcessError(NULL, "CMetaform::UpdateCharHeightAndWidth: Error using lpddsworking->GetDC", 0);
		return (0);
	}

	HFONT hfont = CreateFontIndirect(&font);
	SelectObject(hsurfacedc, hfont);

	SetMapMode(hsurfacedc, MM_TEXT);
	GetTextMetrics(hsurfacedc, &tm);

	lpddsworking->ReleaseDC(hsurfacedc);
	
	DeleteObject(hfont);

	char_height = (MulDiv(tm.tmHeight, 96, g_DirectXEngine.GetLOGPIXELSY()));
	char_width = (MulDiv(tm.tmAveCharWidth, 128, g_DirectXEngine.GetLOGPIXELSX()));


	char buf[128];
	sprintf(buf, "UPDATE: height: %d, width: %d", char_height, char_width);
	g_Console.Message(buf);

	return (1);
 

What am I doing wrong? "The mere thought hadn''t even begun to speculate about the slightest possibility of traversing the eternal wasteland that is my mind..."

It''s ok, I fixed it..
I was being more than usually stupid.
