Describe the bug
Blackbox values in GLYPHMETRICS don't seem to account for hinting.
The appended image should be illustrative.
I also posted this at stackoverflow.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Look at individual glyph bitmaps drawn with DrawText() using the font Consolas.ttf
  2. Look at GLYPHMETRICS data loaded with GetGlyphOutlineA.
  3. See that the black box values designate a smaller rectangle than the drawn glyph's rectangle.

Expected behavior
The black box values are explicitly said to enclose the glyph.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 10

Additional context
Hinting is pain.
