Sorry, my mistake the correct method is used as followed:

public void paint(Graphics g)
{
    FontMetrics fm = g.getFontMetrics();

    int width = fm.stringWidth("Hello World");

    int height = fm.getHeight();
}

>> FontMetrics fm = new FontMetrics(Font f);
>
>The class FontMetrics is an abstract class; cannot be instantiated.
