I'm calling DrawText() with the DT_WORDBREAK flag and passing it some
text that doesn't fit in the width I give it, so it breaks my text
into multiple lines. That's all fine and dandy.

What's weird is that I'm calling DrawText() on a metafile DC (enhanced
metafile, if you must know) and what I see in the metafile are
multiple EMR_EXTTEXTOUTW records (which is odd since what I passed it
was ASCII), one for each line of output and before each line of text
there's an additional EMR_EXTTEXTOUTW record that specifies a single
Unicode character 0x3.

Is this expected behavior?

Thanks,
Chris

Your ASCII is converted to Unicode under the hood in Windows.

Basically what you're seeing is that DrawText() is basically mapping out to
a number of ExtTextOutW calls .... and the final one is the ETX char (end of
text) as a marker...
