Question

How to get these units?

Please follow the steps:
1. Edit->Preferences->Units & Display performance... to bring the dialog.
2. In "Units" group, we can change units for "General", "Stroke", "Type" and "Asian Type".

We can use AIUserSuite::GetUnitsString to get the general units, but how to get the other three units? Does anybody know it?

thanks

You don't need to access the prefs file directly, the values are just stored there. They can be obtained using AIUserSuite::GetUnitsString.

Hi,
You can get these units with AIPreference Suite.

long units;
sAIPreference->GetIntegerPreference(NULL, "strokeUnits", &units);
sAIPreference->GetIntegerPreference(NULL, "text/units", &units);
sAIPreference->GetIntegerPreference(NULL, "text/asianunits", &units);

These suffix strings were found in AIPrefs file.

Interesting, I don't see anything in the API for doing that. Unless someone can find it squirreled away somewhere, it looks like there might be a hole in the API where this is concerned.
