Could someone tells me how do I get around the problem of
not being able to use any of the Get??? functions when drawing
to a MetaFile? To be specific, how do I get basic information
like GetTextExtent for text positioning when using a MetaFile?

Why only a SUBSET of the GDI functions can be used in Windows'
MetaFile, while all the QuickDraw commands can be used in the
Mac's Picture?
