It turns out that this appears, yet again, to be a Windows bug. The debug
message that I get running the function in Windows is:
'Ian Puleston' width 60416
But when I run the exact same code in Linux it prints:
'Ian Puleston' width 56930
56930 Pango units translates to 0.77" (56930 / 1024 / 72) which is pretty
much exactly what it should be (see above).
I will report this as a Windows bug in Bugzilla.
