Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention this other part. In the fields I set up to 
test, I make the fontsize something like 18 points (or larger). This 
should insure that the difference between "i" and "M" (I think you're 
right about "M") are clearly differentiated. I had set of some tests that 
gave me the actual formattedwidth of each character at different sizes, 
and at the larger sizes, they were always clearly different.
