Howdy!  I need to calculate the width of an arbitrary string in a given
font.  Previously, I used the defaultToolkit().getFontMetrics() call but
JB3 is giving me a deprecated warning (which is in both the JB3 docs and
1.2 docs) but no alternatives are given.  I will be leaving this job
soon, so I don't want to have loose ends like unfixed deprecated
functions.

I was told to use a Graphics object, but can't find a reference.  What
can I do?
