KERNINGPAIR structure

Applies to: desktop apps only

The KERNINGPAIR structure defines a kerning pair.

Syntax

typedef struct tagKERNINGPAIR {
  WORD wFirst;
  WORD wSecond;
  int  iKernAmount;
} KERNINGPAIR, *LPKERNINGPAIR;

Members

wFirst

The character code for the first character in the kerning pair.

wSecond

The character code for the second character in the kerning pair.

iKernAmount

The amount this pair will be kerned if they appear side by side in the same font and size. This value is typically negative, because pair kerning usually results in two characters being set more tightly than normal. The value is specified in logical units; that is, it depends on the current mapping mode.
