Capture Windows text shaping and glyph rasterization for the shared text model.

```yh
external MeasureGraphicsWindowsTextLayout(text value, text family, text locale, int weight, int sizeQ26_6, int maximumWidthQ26_6, int maximumHeightQ26_6, int hitUtf16Position, text source) returns graphicsWindowsTextLayoutSnapshot
```


## Use MeasureGraphicsWindowsTextLayout

A complete small caller. Values are illustrative; check the returned result and package requirements before connecting live resources.

Verification: type checked

```yh
using graphics.text.windows

// Capture Windows text shaping and glyph rasterization for the shared text model.
text value = "value"
text family = "cpu"
text locale = "locale"
int weight = 1
int sizeQ26_6 = 1
int maximumWidthQ26_6 = 1
int maximumHeightQ26_6 = 1
int hitUtf16Position = 1
text source = "example"
graphicsWindowsTextLayoutSnapshot result = MeasureGraphicsWindowsTextLayout(value, family, locale, weight, sizeQ26_6, maximumWidthQ26_6, maximumHeightQ26_6, hitUtf16Position, source)
Console.Log("Inspect result in your debugger")

```

Save this beside start.yh as project.mech:

```toml
manifestVersion = "2"
package = "api.example.graphics_text_windows__measuregraphicswindowstextlayout"
version = "0.1.0"
languageEdition = "yeho-core-2026.1"

[app]
kind = "headless"

[[dependencies]]
package = "graphics.text"
version = "0.1.0"
path = "../../../yeho/packages/graphics/text"

[[dependencies]]
package = "graphics.text.windows"
version = "0.1.0"
path = "../../../yeho/packages/graphics/text/windows"

```

Extract the example archive beside the yeho and dolphin checkouts. This example requires those source dependencies and a current developer compiler.

```sh
./yeho/build/dolphin-metal/yehoc ./api-examples/graphics.text.windows--MeasureGraphicsWindowsTextLayout/usage --backend cpu-oracle -o /tmp/yeho-example
/tmp/yeho-example
```


Package presence and a declaration do not establish support on every host. Host services need their platform and lifecycle setup.
