I have only just got back onto this project. Many thanks, Jim, and to everyone else who made suggestions. Jim's solution looks to be the way forward for me. I should be able to get a "good enough" calculation of my text width using the picturebox object. I struggled with the gettextextentpoint function. I'm sure there is some combination of correct declaration and function call that will work, but admit that it escapes me!
