Almost on the bull's-eye! Actually, DrawText() returns the *height* of
the string... how lucky I am, huh?

But a "See Also" link in the MSDN page for DrawText() [1] pointed me
to TabbedTextOut() [2], which returns both the height and the width...
I'll give it a shot, even though the comment for TEXT_TabbedTextOut()
in dlls/user32/text.c [3] doesn't encourage me much... ¬¬

(I shouldn't change *that* behavior of Windows, should I? =P)

Thanks for the suggestion! Anyone else?

/***********************************************************************
 *           TEXT_TabbedTextOut

 * Helper function for TabbedTextOut() and GetTabbedTextExtent().
 * Note: this doesn't work too well for text-alignment modes other
 *       than TA_LEFT|TA_TOP. But we want bug-for-bug compatibility :-)
