[Q]How to display Tahoma italic font

Hi
I can't display Tahoma font in italic properly using
GetTextExtentPoint32W(), do you have any ideas about it? here is a
brief view of the code:

void demoFunc(HDC hdc)
{
int XIncrement;
int YStart;

HFONT hfntDefault;
HFONT hfntItalic;
HFONT hfntNormal;

LPSTR lpszString = "dd";
int stringLen = strlen(lpszString);
LPWSTR wString = (LPWSTR)malloc(WCHAR_STRING_LENGTH * sizeof(LPWSTR));
SIZE sz;

// Create a normal and an italic logical font
hfntItalic = MyCreateFont(ITALIC_FONT);
hfntNormal = MyCreateFont(NORMAL_FONT);

// translate the LPSTR string to LPWSTR string
MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, lpszString, stringLen, wString,
WCHAR_STRING_LENGTH);

// Select the normal font and draw the first string
// beginning at the specified point (XIncrement, YStart).
XIncrement = 10;
YStart = 50;

hfntDefault = (HFONT)SelectObject(hdc, hfntNormal);
TextOut(hdc, XIncrement, YStart, (LPCWSTR)wString, stringLen);

GetTextExtentPoint32W(hdc, (LPCWSTR)wString, stringLen, &sz);
XIncrement += sz.cx;

// Select an italic font and draw the second string
// beginning at the point (XIncrement, YStart).
hfntNormal = (HFONT)SelectObject(hdc, hfntItalic);
TextOut(hdc, XIncrement, YStart, (LPCWSTR)wString, stringLen);

// Compute the length of the second string and add
// this value to the x-increment that is used for the
// text-output operation.
GetTextExtentPoint32W(hdc, (LPCWSTR)wString, stringLen, &sz);
XIncrement += sz.cx;

// Reselect the normal font and draw the third string
// beginning at the point (XIncrement, YStart).
SelectObject(hdc, hfntNormal);
TextOut(hdc, XIncrement, YStart, (LPCWSTR)wString, stringLen);

// Reselect the original font.
SelectObject(hdc, hfntDefault);

// Delete the bold and italic fonts.
DeleteObject(hfntItalic);
DeleteObject(hfntNormal);

free(wString);
}

HFONT MyCreateFont(FontType ftype)
{
LOGFONT logfont = {0};

wcscpy(logfont.lfFaceName, L"Tahoma");
switch (ftype)
{
case ITALIC_FONT:
logfont.lfItalic = TRUE;
break;
case BOLD_FONT:
logfont.lfWeight = FW_BOLD;
break;
case NORMAL_FONT:
break;
default:
assert(0);
break;
}

return CreateFontIndirect(&logfont);
}

I've been searching for a solution for weeks, please help me,
thanks.

Regards,
Johnny
