Sorry, I cut/pasted the wrong text, this is probably the code you meant,
public void displayText(String text, Matrix endingTextMatrix){
boolean hardReturn = false;
if (lastTextLineMatrix != null && lastTextLineMatrix.get(Matrix.I32) !=
getCurrentTextLineMatrix().get(Matrix.I32)){
hardReturn = true;
}
float currentX = getCurrentTextMatrix().get(Matrix.I31);
float sY = getCurrentTextMatrix().get(Matrix.I32);
String loc=""+((int)(currentX*100))+" "+((int)(sY*100))+" ";
