No, GDI *does not* scale bitmap font metrics. Well it does do integer scaling. So if you request System (whose normal size is 16) with 32 <= lfHeight < 48 you'll get a double sized font with all the metrics scaled by a factor of two. Wine doesn't do this yet. Your test shows that gdi doesn't do fractional scaling which is indeed correct. Huw. -- Huw Davies huw(a)codeweavers.com

From MSDN on SHGetFolderPath: This function is a superset of SHGetSpecialFolderPath, included with earlier versions of the Shell. On systems preceeding those including Shell32.dll version 5.0 (Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me) and Windows 2000), SHGetFolderPath was obtained through SHFolder.dll, distributed with Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and later versions. SHFolder.dll always calls the current platform's version of this function. If that fails, it will try to simulate the appropriate behavior. So, I think your patch is a good first step, to use GetProcAddress rather than letting the linker do it. A next step would be, I think, to do what I suggested: if this fails, try to GetProcAddress for SHGetSpecialFolderPath, since this was available on older versions of shell32. You might have to search by ordinal if searching by name fails. So, I don't think my suggestion is that different from Juergen's, just that I suggest an implementation of "try to simulate the appropriate behavior" if the function is not in fact in shell32. --Juan _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
