Huh, that's bloody wrong.
Did you by any chance define wxDIALOG_UNIT_COMPATIBILITY  to 1? This
means backwards compatibility, meaning silly wrong calculation. Is the
'I'd like random values' option.
When you step from frmMain into GetCharWidth(), the code in
wx/src/msw/window.cpp Line 5574 needs to be executed, or the wrong font
is evaluated. Actually, commenting out this part of code doesn't make
any sense at all...
