I want a JTextField that will accomodate exactly 50 Monospaced characters.
I set the "Columns" property to 50, but that doesn't seem to have any effect
because I can enter more than 50 characters and the dimensions of the field
give it much more width than it needs.

I know that fonts are variable from platform to platform, but this app
requires a precise size for this field.  Is my only strategy to determine
the font character width at run time and then resize my entire applet?
Please tell me there is an easier way.

thanks,

James
