SUMMARY

TTDMP is a file in the Microsoft Software Library that demonstrates using the new TrueType functions provided by Windows 3.1. TTDMP demonstrates the GetOutlineTextMetrics() and GetRasterizerCaps() functions. The sample displays the contents of the OUTLINETEXTMETRIC, TEXTMETRIC, PANOSE, and LOGFONT structures that describe a TrueType font.

TTDMP also demonstrates using the ChooseFont and Print dialogs provided by the common dialog box dynamic-link library (DLL). The user can choose a font and display a line of text in the chosen font. The sample will print the same line of text to a printer chosen in the Print common dialog box.
