pinvoke.net: Structures.TEXTMETRIC

Contains basic information about a physical font.

Always be explicit which character set you want to use. Use either TEXTMETRICA with the character set Ansi or TEXTMETRICW with the character set Unicode. Avoid the use of Auto as it is platform dependent and might cause memory leaks.
