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:
Look at individual glyph bitmaps drawn with DrawText() using the font Consolas.ttf
Look at GLYPHMETRICS data loaded with GetGlyphOutlineA.
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.
