Extract and Edit Text From EMF Spool file?

Hi, I have an .emf spool file and I want to extract the data (text, images etc).
But how?

I know I have to use EMR_EXTTEXTOUTW or EMR_EXTTEXTOUTA, but I don't know how to use it..

Any help?

I am trying to extract unicode text from the EMF files extracted from the printed SPL (spool file).

I can't find any description or source code that describes exactly how to read the following EMF records.

EmfExtTextOutA
EmfExtTextOutW
EmfSmallTextOut

I created a program that reads an emf file and gets the text with this code:

int CALLBACK EnhMetaFileProc (HDC hdc, HANDLETABLE * pHandleTable,
CONST ENHMETARECORD * pEmfRecord, int iHandles, LPARAM pData)
{
        ENHMETARECORD * pEmfr;
        pEmfr = (ENHMETARECORD *) malloc (pEmfRecord->nSize);
        CopyMemory (pEmfr, pEmfRecord, pEmfRecord->nSize);
        if(pEmfr->iType==EMR_EXTTEXTOUTW)
        {
                PEMREXTTEXTOUTW pExtTextOutW = (PEMREXTTEXTOUTW)pEmfr;
                MessageBox(NULL,(LPWSTR)((BYTE *)pEmfr +
                        pExtTextOutW->emrtext.offString),TEXT("text"),0);
        }
       
        PlayEnhMetaFileRecord (hdc, pHandleTable, pEmfr, iHandles) ;
        free (pEmfr) ;
        return TRUE ;
}

The text is : (LPWSTR)((BYTE *)pEmfr + pExtTextOutW->emrtext.offString)
The problem is that if(pExtTextOutW->emrtext.fOptions==ETO_GLYPH_INDEX)
I get some stranges characters , not the text.
Can someone help me to get the right characters?

Thank You.
