Problem with the Cambria Math font

[EDN Admin]

<div style="color:black; background-color:white
<pre><span style="color:blue int iLogPixelsY;

iLogPixelsY = GetDeviceCaps(hdc, LOGPIXELSY);

LOGFONT lf;

<span style="color:blue int iPts;

iPts = 22;

memset(&lf, 0, <span style="color:blue sizeof(LOGFONT));
lf.lfHeight = -iPts * iLogPixelsY / 72;
lf.lfWeight = FW_NORMAL;
lf.lfItalic = 0;
lf.lfCharSet = 0;
lf.lfOutPrecision = OUT_TT_ONLY_PRECIS;
wcscpy(lf.lfFaceName, L<span style="color:#a31515 "Cambria Math");

HFONT hFont;

hFont = CreateFontIndirect(&lf);
hFont = (HFONT)SelectObject(hdc, hFont);

TCHAR tx;

tx = a;

TEXTMETRIC tm;

GetTextMetrics(hdc, &tm);

GLYPHMETRICS gm;

GetGlyphOutline(hdc, tx, GGO_METRICS, &gm, 0, NULL, &gmat);
[/code]



If I run the code with "Cambria Math" as above, I get the following values for
tm and gm :

tm.tmHeight = 161
tm.tmAscent = 90
tm.tmDescent = 71

These are clearly incorrect values !
<br/>

gm.gmBlackBoxY = 14, which seems to be correct.

Now, if I just change the face name to "Arial" in the LOGFONT structure lf, I get the following values for
tm and gm .

tm.tmHeight = 33
tm.tmAscent = 27
tm.tmDescent = 6

and

gm.gmBlackBoxY = 15

which seem to be correct !


Maybe Im missing something int the definition of the LOGFONT structure for the "Cambria Math" font.
