weird kerning problem with DrawString

For some reason whenever I use StringFormat with a trimming set to
EllipsesCharacter, when it does clip the string, it seems to reduce the
kerning (it squishes the letters together). Has anyone else seen this? What
can I do to stop that?

Thanks,
John

I am sorry John, I did not post the previous message. It was posted by an
imposter. You can tell posts that are not from me that I never insult anyone
