Hello



I need to convert any character to an array of lines and arcs, so instead of 
draw text I will use draw line or draw arc functions.

Is there a way to do it by using for standard windows API function?



Thank you,



Rony.

It looks as though GetGlyphOutline() is what you want.

Hi Renald,

In addition to Alan's suggestion, I thought I'd mention that the 
GetPath() GDI function can be used to retrieve basic polygon 
information.  See the following page for an example...
