Remarks

Windows NT/2000/XP: When the graphics mode is set to GM_ADVANCED, you can specify the escapement angle of the string independently of the orientation angle of the string's characters.

When the graphics mode is set to GM_COMPATIBLE, Escapement specifies both the escapement and orientation. You should set Escapement and Orientation to the same value.
