+Returns how wide the string would be, in pixels, without wrapping:
+ width = MyFontString:GetStringWidth();
+== Note ==
+Get/SetWidth() and Get/SetHeight() operate very differently on FontString objects than they do in other objects.
+Among other things, if no width is explicitly set, GetWidth() will return the exact same result as GetStringWidth().
+See the [[UIOBJECT FontString|FontString object information]] for details.
