dlpdfcontenttext
This procedure adds a NULL-terminated string of text to the content. It will be placed
such that the baseline of the left edge of the first character aligns with the given
position (XPos,YPos) in points. The baseline should also proceed at the angle
specified in Rotate, where zero is to the right and positive numbers produce
counter-clockwise rotation in degrees. It will be set in the specified font at the
specified PointSize and SetWidth. The parameters of PDEGraphicState and
PDETextState will be observed.
dlpdfcontentwidetext
Same as dlpdfcontenttext, but permits Unicode and MultiByte text.
Text Width Evaluation
On occasion, it is necessary to know the width of text. The following calls will
