I am not the person to give a definitive answer, but have you tried the
FontMetrics class? I get the total width and height of a string with
the following code:
int sw = g2d.getFontMetrics().stringWidth(text);
int sh = g2d.getFontMetrics().getHeight();
I notice there is also a getMaxCharBounds in this class. It uses a
Graphics context instead of FontRenderContext.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
I have some questions:
1) how to determine the max pixel with of the characters in a font ?
Font.getMaxCharBounds() does not return correct values (expecially
with some
italic fonts). A silly workaround is to find the max size of the chars
glyph
outlines bounds.. But it's so ugly!
2) why Graphics2D.drawString() gives so different visual results from
drawing a glyphVector as a Shape ?
Many thanks,
Mik
