Hi,
In my last attempt, I submitted Troy Rollo's EM_FORMATRANGE
implementation and with my test cases. I'm not sure what was wrong
with the implementation, but the test cases should be ok.

Hi Lei,
Pretty old patch. (June 2007)
I just moved some of my VMware 'boxes' to my new laptop (laptop resolution
1024x800) and I suddenly had some failures. The resolution that VMware can
use (with all those borders and the sidebar) is 1044x574. Running the tests
fullscreen makes them pass again.
You can replicate this by playing with the screen resolution. The smaller
the resolution the more test failures.
Any idea where I need to look?

Is this on Windows in VMWare? I'm not getting any riched20 crosstest
failures here at 800x600.
Interesting that this should fail on a VMWare workstation setup. The
tests are pretty straightfoward.
Also, I have not worked on this due to other pressures of life. Would
someone like to take this over and finish it? This would solve a couple
of open bug reports and fix some complaints about text rendering.

As said before, this issue can be seen on both VMware and real boxes. It's much
easier of course to play around with resolutions on VMware.
I'm currently trying loads of different resolutions to see if there is some
logic. I do see that when I'm reducing just the horizontal resolution for
example that the result of the EM_FORMATRANGE message changes at certain
intervals (no logic found yet though).
The number that keeps coming back is '15' :
Hor Vert EM_FORMATRANGE
1040 800 20
937 800 16
832 800 15
712 800 14
652 800 13
547 800 12
517 800 9
412 800 7
382 800 6
The difference between the horizontal resolution when the results change is
always a multiple of 15 (can't check the first one as 20 is the maximum returned).
The same behavior can be seen with a vertical resolution of 600:
Hor Vert EM_FORMATRANGE
1238 600 20
1222 600 18
1057 600 16
1012 600 15
937 600 9
547 600 7
517 600 6
And with a horizontal resolution of 979 (yeah I know):
Hor Vert EM_FORMATRANGE
979 724 20
979 712 15
979 472 7
So any idea about that number '15'? Maybe once I've figured out where that comes
from the logic makes more sense.
