Actually, you can't get the space of every character anyway. I went through this exercise
last year, and essentially GetTextExtent class operations all share a common set of bugs
with respect to computing string lengths when other than plain-vanilla fonts are used.

Hi, Everyone
I need a api like GetTextExtentExPoint,but with more feature.
1) the text be drawn with feature DT_WORDBREAK & DT_EDITCONTROL

If I use Drawtext(), I can't get the space info of every char,

Is there any other api fulfil me?
