Return Value

Value containing C spacing from ABC metrics for given character.

Remarks

ABC metric is defined for TrueType fonts in the following way:
  • A spacing the distance to add to the current position before drawing the character glyph.
  • B spacing the width of the drawn portion of the character glyph.
  • C spacing the distance to add to the current position to provide white space to the right of the character glyph.
The total width of a character is the summation of the A, B, and C spaces. Either the A or the C space can be negative to indicate underhangs or overhangs.

ABC metric makes no sense for non-TrueType fonts.
