Summary: GetTextExtent wrong results for JP font

Initial Comment:
GetTextExtent() on wxMac 2.8.7 returns incorrect results for japanese and other similar fonts.  The following code draws two strings, one in roman characters and another in japanese characters.  Each string has a red rectangle drawn to its text extent. While the roman string is neatly encompassed by its rectangle, the rectangle for the japanese string falls far short.  An image of the result is attached.

#include "wx/wx.h"

class TestFrame : public wxFrame
    {
    public:
        TestFrame() : wxFrame(NULL, wxID_ANY, wxT("Test"))
        {
        }
        
        void DrawString(wxDC& dc, const wxString & txt, int vOffset)
        {
            wxSize sz = GetClientSize();
            wxSize ext = dc.GetTextExtent(txt);
            
            int x = wxMax(0, (sz.x-ext.x)/2);
            int y = wxMax(0, (sz.y-ext.y)/2) + vOffset;
            
            dc.SetPen(*wxRED_PEN);
            dc.DrawRectangle(x, y, ext.x, ext.y);
            dc.SetPen(*wxBLACK_PEN);
            dc.DrawText(txt, x, y);
        }
        
        void OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
        {
            wxPaintDC dc(this);
            wxFont font(24, wxFONTFAMILY_DEFAULT, wxFONTSTYLE_NORMAL, wxFONTWEIGHT_NORMAL);
            font.SetNoAntiAliasing(true);
            dc.SetFont(font);
            DrawString(dc, wxT("ABCDE"), -25);
            DrawString(dc, wxT("カタカナ ひらがな ローマ字"), 25);
        }
        
    private:
        DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE()
    };

BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(TestFrame, wxFrame)
EVT_PAINT(TestFrame::OnPaint)
END_EVENT_TABLE()

class TestApp : public wxApp
    {
    public:
        bool OnInit()
        {
            TestFrame * frame = new TestFrame();
            frame->Show(true);
            return true;
        }
    };

csomor: I'm getting different results from you.  This bug also exists for
me with the current trunk (2.9), built with the same configure options
(repeated here because of line breaks in my previous post).  

../configure --enable-universal_binary
--with-macosx-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk
--with-macosx-version-min=10.4  --disable-shared --enable-unicode
--disable-debug --enable-catch_segvs  --enable-graphics_ctx
--enable-mediactrl --with-opengl --enable-monolithic --with-libjpeg=builtin
--with-libpng=builtin --with-libtiff=builtin --with-expat=builtin
--enable-gui --enable-xrc --enable-mdi --enable-gif  --enable-pcx
--enable-iff --enable-pnm --enable-xpm

This is on OS X 10.5.2 using the WX_2_8_BRANCH from svn configured  with
the following options:

../configure --enable-universal_binary
--with-macosx-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -
-with-macosx-version-min=10.4  --disable-shared --enable-unicode
--enable-debug --enable-c

could you please provide more details - are you using the unicode build -
on which OS X version are you running this, is this a 2.8.7 download or the
WX_2_8_BRANCH from svn (eg the current trunk runs the sample with no
problem on 10.5.2)

Thanks a lot,

Stefan
