How about the Hello World sample program from Petzold 3rd edition chapter 2
with tiny modifications.

Personally the difficult bit for me is designing the experiments
themselves.

If you like I can create some of the test cases if you want to do the
coding.  Do you want to take this off the newsgroup?

By the way, how about using GetTextExtentExPoint to measure the string,
that way you don't need to worry about the kerning etc; the only
complication is the tabs.
