Hi,

i have problems about metrics. i'm using "GetTextMetrics" api command to
query metrics. the problem is, tmInternalLeading does not fit (especially at
rotation). i prepared a .jpg file to show that situation (it's hard to
mention it with characters :) )

i seached many sources, and found that;

Characteristics of a font;

                                        }
                                        } External Leading - space above the
font to the top of the text area

                 }                                }                         
        }

                           }
         *                }
       }


but i couldn't fit a bounding box to written text... can someone pls help me
? what am i missing ? is there any other metrics should i use ?

Problem :
    1. i can't make a exact bounding box (especially at rotation)
    2. base line (+tmAscent) always stable bot top line (+tmInternalLeading)
is not stable
    3. i really need to calculate base line & top line

i consider top & base lines as;
