SYMPTOMS
========
Under Japanese Windows version 3.1, the fields otmpFamilyName, otmpFaceName,
otmpStyleName, and otmpFullName of the OUTLINETEXTMETRIC structure (obtained by
calling the GetOutlineTextMetrics() function) contain garbled data.
For example, when True Type Arial Bold is selected, GetOutlineTextMetrics()
returns:
otmpFamilyName: Ailal
otmpFaceName: AilBl
otmpStyleName: Bl
otmpFullName: Wntp:ra odVrin1(irsf)ersion 1 (Microsoft)
CAUSE
=====
This problem is caused by a bug in the modules translating the True Type font
descriptions from UNICODE to ANSI.
STATUS
======
Microsoft Japan has confirmed this to be a bug in Japanese Windows version 3.1.
We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available. This problem does not exist in
U.S. Windows version 3.1.
