OnNcHitTest changed from int to INT_PTR for some reason, and yes, this is one of the
glitches.

That's good to know. I've got about 20 more apps to convert; I'm slowly converting all
the Win32 book code to VS200x for some value of x. I just got 2008 installed (this paper
is consuming all my cycles right now), and will be moving everything to 2008 before
release.

The user interface of Font Explorer is really klunky, and I'm changing it to MDI in the
rewrite. Much nicer. Modeless dialog boxes instead of modal, for example. One of the
weird problems I can't fix (and revert to some really bizarre code--intercepting change
notifications in certain controls of CFontDialog) may remain. It also now gives a kerning
map, which is also a nice improvement.

thanks
joe

I can send you the sources.
They are not public now, since I am not sure I like what I did.
It all started with some playing with the cmap parsing, and it developed
into this :-)
I want now to clean it and make it public. Also add glyph detection using
Uniscribe, and couple of other things.

LOL. Some of the applications I still use (showing Chinese info from the
Unihan Unicode file, a locale explorer, and few others) are toys
I have writen about 11 years ago, in MFC, without knowing MFC, but knowing
"plain Win32", Petzold style :-)
They still run on everything from Win 95 to Vista, never recompiled.
(and the text display is Unicode, with my own custom control)
