For the 45 degree text, the question still remains if your code
correctly does the box drawing Trigonometry the same way that MS does
it.
That's why I asked to see the code. Something I can compile and play
with to try to figure it out.

It is used in the callbacks to the EnumFont... group of functions.
See the help page "Enumerating the Installed Fonts"

I am also guessing that if you use it in a call to GetTextMetrics on a
TrueType font, that the extra members will be filled in, but that's
just a guess, and could be wrong.
