PRB: WinSDK: Printing Strings of Mixed Fonts
ID Number:  Q19945

SYMPTOMS
   When sending strings to a printer DC using TextOut(), a different
   font is selected prior to each call to TextOut(). The number of
   spaces appended is between each string and is not predictable.
   However, each time the document is printed, the same number of
   spaces appear at the same positions, regardless of what printer is
   being used.

CAUSE
   Features such as boldface and underlining do not always have the
   same TEXTMETRIC values.

RESOLUTION
   Call GetTextMetrics() before sending a string to the TextOut()
   function. Using the values returned by GetTextMetrics(), calculate
   the (X,Y) positioning of the string and use that (X,Y) pair
   in the call to TextOut().
