GetCharacterInfo does not work when Canvas Scaler is set to "Scale With Screen Size"
Reproduction steps:
1. Open User's project
-Notice that Canvas scaler is set to "Scale With Screen Size"
2. Run "TestScene" scene
3. Press "Wrap it" UI button
-Notice that all the values in console are 0s.
Expected behaviour: All the CharacterInfo.advance values got from Font.GetCharacterInfo are greater than 0.
Workaround: Set Canvas Scaler to "Constant Pixel Size" and run the scene. This way all the lines will log values greater than 0.
Reproduced in versions: Unity 5.2.4f1, 5.3.3f1, 5.3.4f1, 5.3.5f1, 5.4.0b12, 5.4.0b17, 5.4.0b18

I have a workaround: use the RectTransform of the Game Object with the Canvas Scaler on it to calculate the font scale factor.
e.g.
char glyph = 'A';
CharacterInfo characterInfo;
float fontScale = scaler.localScale.x;
int fontSize = Mathf.FloorToInt(myText.fontSize * fontScale);
font.GetCharacterInfo(glyph, out characterInfo, fontSize, myText.fontStyle);
float advance = characterInfo.advance / fontScale;
