#26 GetMetrics() always returns the default system font

[Anonymous]

Win32::GUI::Font::GetMetrics() seems to be always
returning the default system font for a window created
with any custom font size.

This bug refers to the 0.0.671 version of Win32::GUI
(march 2004), although I know there have been updates
in the CVS, because it might be that not only the .pm-s
are involved and I can't recompile the DLLs.

I have attached a test file.

By the way, any chance of a new build?

Hope this helps,
Dan Dascalescu

Test file for GetMetrics() returning the default system font for a window created with a custom font size

I wrote some tests for this, intending to get them to pass
while fixing the problem. It turns out that it does
actually return different values for different sizes of font
- it's just that the values are in 'logical' units and not
pixels. For now, use the Info() method if you want the
height in pixels (untested, but that's what the code looks
like) - I need to think further (and understand a bit more
about fonts and their uses) before I can make a call as to
whether it would be right for this method to return the
height in pixels too. Rob.
