Thank for the recomendation but the
borland.public.jbuilder.java.language is too
slow to download from my place.

The class FontMetrics is an abstract class; cannot be instantiated.

There is method in the SwingUtilities class:

SwingUtilities.computeStringWidth(FontMetrics, String);

But again, it needs a FontMetrics instance. The only way is to extend
this
class. Then we must implement some required methods like the
getWidth()...then
we get the same problem.

Am I wrong, or is there anoth
