fontMetrics.getStringBounds() is too small

[Joana]

hi gurus,

I want to drow a rectangle, where a certain stringer fits inside.
I compute the string size in such a way:

Frame frame // here are my component. In the component are rectangle & string
frame.pack();
Graphics g = frame.getGraphics();
FontMetrics fm = g.getFontMetrics();

Rectangle2D bounds = fm.getStringBounds();

If I draw the rectangle of the bounds-large, I see 2/3 the whole
string in the rectangle only.
Why?

thanks for any help!

best reagards,
Joana

Probably has something to do with your code, which only you can see.

Do not cross-post. Choose one group. Make one post.

Might it have something to do with the Frame borders?

Which 2/3? Is it centered and cropped or only one end cropped.
What is your code to draw the String?
