Well for want of a better solution, this works:
GetTextWidth("Period","Tahoma",8) returns 32
Function GetTextWidth
Parameters tcText, tcFontName, tnFontSize
Local x As Form
Local lnRetVal
x = CREATEOBJECT("Form")
With x
.AddObject("Label","Label")
With .Label
.FontName = tcFontName
.FontSize = tnFontSize
.AutoSize = .T.
.Visible = .T.
.Caption = tcText
EndWith
EndWith
lnRetVal = x.Label.Width
x = .NULL.
Release x
Return lnRetVal

I don't necessarily consider one or the other to be "more correct" - but I
would like a way of calculating the width in such a way that the result is
consistent with what AutoSize yields ...
