I'm building a PDF using the canvas, so I'm calling GetCanvasDC and LoadFromCanvasDC, and in between have a series of calls to Canvas.TextOut. The text being written to the canvas needs to be right-aligned so I'm using Canvas.TextWidth to calculate the start offset of the text in relation to the right-hand edge of the page. I have two distinct issues with this.

Firstly TextWidth doesn't seem to be very accurate. The longer the text being printed, the bigger the gap I have between the end of the text and the right-hand edge of the page. Secondly if the text being printed is only a single character then it prints the text in a tiny font. If two characters the font is slightly bigger, and if three characters or more it prints in the correct font size.

Has anyone else experienced problems like this?
