I'm using the CreateFont() API call to make changes to teh nWidth param so
that a given font typeface can appear wider or narrower.
When i send zero as the nWidth parameter, the system figures out the average
character width of the typeface self.
My question is - how can i figure out what this average character width
value is? is there a call i can make to determine this? Can i follow up
the CreateFont call w/ a second api call that will return the value?
Thanks.
