Its actually more compounded than that.  You can basically do this with
Java's AWT Font/FontMetrics classes but the sizes are incompatible with
Windows fonts (let alone Mac et al).  Someone has to record the data for
Windows fonts and or an API that reads the font files and calculates them.

POI is not, and was never meant to be, a replacement for VBA. Its a file format reader/writer. To do autosizing, one needs a fontmetrics implementation. We're yet find one that is useful and easy enuf to use. However, as a frequently requested feature, its a ripe oppurtunity for contribution :)

Autosizing question:

Hello, is there a way to autosize the specified column
in POI? Since VBA have this function to autosize
columns, I wonder if POI have, if not, I have to
setsize for each column, I think it would waste a lot
of resource right? Thanks
I'm facing the same problem.

Did you find a solution?
