>(from msn) GetCharABCWidths succeeds only with TrueType fonts. 

Is this based on experiment, or a document? Remember that operating
system support for type 1 fonts was only introduced with Windows 2000,
so anything written for an older system doesn't apply.

GetCharABCWidths doesn't apply to bitmap fonts, because they don't
have the advanced metrics applicable. Type 1 fonts do, so give it a
try. Otherwise, try GetCharWidth32 or similar.
