Dear programmers!!!
Try to answer to my questions.
1. What is twips and how many pixels in one twip?
2. How to convert twips to pixels in Delpi or C++Builder?
3. How to get LineSpacing, SpaceAfter, SpaceBefore in paragraph of RichEdit (Delphi or C++Builder)?

1 twip = 1/20 point = 1/1440 inch
The number of pixels in a twip depends on the device's resolution.
[number of pixels in one twip] = [device dots per inch] / 1440
Look http://forum.delphiarea.com/viewtopic.php?t=741 for the answer.

2. getdevicecaps + monitor handle or use global Screen variable
3. analogically, use get instead of set and query for it.

funny is that every bit of it is cleared out in help available freelly to anyone in delphi's help menu.
