It probably isn't the same font that is being used in the grid.  Try 
using grid.GetFont() instead, or if you are setting different fonts for 
the cells then you can get the cell attribute object and use the font 
returned by it.  Also, you should have a bitmap selected into the 
MemoryDC as it is not valid without it on some platforms.
