I am drawing to a canvas using RB 2006r3.
I did file a bug report as Joe suggested, and got a very quick
response form the RS testing department which reports that the
difference is due to the underlying OS APIs, and that not much can be
done about it.
:-(

I've just encountered what seems to be a really unfortunate
difference (a bug?) in the way the graphics.drawstring method behaves
on Mac and Windows when drawing a string with the optional WrapWidth
parameter specified. On the Mac, the string may be broken anywhere to
fit whereas on Windows, the string will only break on a space
character.
That is, if s is long string that contains no spaces, g.drawstring
s,x,y,w will draw all characters in the string on the Mac, line-
breaking wherever it needs to. On Windows, on the other hand, it will
be truncated, just as if the WrapWidth parameter were not specified.
Is this a bug? Is there a workaround I'm overlooking?
Do you try to draw on screen or on a printer graphic ?
In RB 3.5, I've seen a similar situation with g.stringWidth. This
function
returned an incorrect value in windows when used to draw on a printer
graphic AND the printing resolution was low (not maximal) (not true
with any
font). Or perhaps it's the resulting drawing that was modified when
the
resolution was low : the width of the printed text was bigger in
this case
than with maximal resolution.
