The other point is that this code works on Linux. I also move the code around to put somthing into the MemoryDC before GetFullTextExtent and I still go the same error. It seems to be a Mac thing.

Subject: Re: [wxPython-users] MemoryDC, GetFullTextExtent and Darwin
Hi Chris,
you're right -- but that's not what I meant. What I was imagining was
that the OP was trying to make a bitmap large enough to to hold a given
text string -- to do that, you'd need to know how large it was before
you could make the bitmap.
Sorry, I did not understand correctly what you meant. Yes, if this is
the final target of the code, you have to know if advance how large is
the text indeed. Sorry for my somewhat approximative mastering of the
english language

Different platforms are sensitive to different things like this.
If I understand correctly, even if you select a bitmap into the MemoryDC, it still doesn't wwork. If I have that right, please post a small, self-contained example of code that works on Linux, but not OS-X. Also version info.
Does GetTextExtent() work?

GetTextExtent and GetFullTextExtent both call the same C++ function so if one fails the other will too.
