Description of Problem:

Given a particular string and a font, measureString provides different results
on lin and win.  On linux, the returned width is smaller than it is actually
is.


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. run the code below

 public class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
         ;
        }

        // on windows: w1 : 70,08897 w2: 75
        // on linux: w1 :67 w2: 76 
        protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
        {
            string testString = "hello world";
            Font f = new Font("arial", 10);
            float w1 = e.Graphics.MeasureString(testString, f).Width;
            float w2 = TextRenderer.MeasureText(testString, f).Width;
            Console.WriteLine("w1 : " + w1.ToString() + " w2: " +
w2.ToString());
            base.OnPaint(e);
        }
    }
