    lf.lfClipPrecision=CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS;
    lf.lfCharSet=1251;
    lf.lfOrientation=0;
    hf=CreateFontIndirect(&lf);
    SelectObject(hdc,hf);
    SetTextAlign(hdc,TA_CENTER);
    GetClientRect(hWnd,&r);
    TextOut(hdc,r.right/2,r.bottom/2,"Some text",strlen("Some text"));
    DeleteObject(hf);
    EndPaint(hWnd3,&ps);

Text will be much longer than "Some text".

Use DrawText() instead on TextOut(). DrawText lets you specify a rectangle for clipping the text. DrawText() can also be used to calculate the size of the rectangle that will be needed.
