I am using ExtTextOut to print unicode characters. We create font using
CreateFontIndirect to print characters in different orientations. When we
use GB2312_CHARSET (chinese character set) with lfEscapement/orientation
set to 270 degrees the characters are printed in reverse order.
If the character to be printed is 'Chinese', it is printed as 'esenihc'.
The same character set works fine if lfEscapement/orientation is set to 0
deg.
The issue is present only in WINCE. The same code works fine in a Win32
application.
I have written a sample application.Find below the code from sample app
CSampView::OnDraw (CDC* pDisplayDC)
{
HDC hDC = CreateCompatibleDC(NULL);
HBITMAP hBmp = CreateCompatibleBitmap(hDC, width, height);
BITMAPINFO biBitmapInfo;
// font size may vary if screen resolution changes
biBitmapInfo.bmiHeader.biSize = sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER);
biBitmapInfo.bmiHeader.biWidth = 500;
biBitmapInfo.bmiHeader.biHeight = 500;
biBitmapInfo.bmiHeader.biPlanes = 1;
biBitmapInfo.bmiHeader.biBitCount = 1 ;
