This is sort of along the lines of a question I asked earlier about getting the pixel width given a String of text (This would help me set an Excel column's width). Andy made a couple of suggestions, one of which was use the java.awt.FontMetrics object, which has methods to return the advance width of text. My question is: how do I get a FontMetrics object from an HSSFFont object? The class FontMetrics has no public constructor.
Thanks, Dave
