The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows
   version 3.1
 
 - Microsoft Win32 Application Programming Interface (API) included with:
 
    - Microsoft Windows NT versions 3.1, 3.5, and 3.51
    - Microsoft Windows 95 version 4.0
    - Microsoft Win32s version 1.2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The units of the values in the GLYPHMETRICS structure are documented in the
"Win32 Programmer's Reference vol. 5" page 425 and the "Windows 3.1 SDK
Programmer's Reference vol. 3" page 297 as being in logical units. This is
incorrect. The values in the GLYPHMETRICS structure returned by the
GetGlyphOutline function call are in device units, not in logical units.
