Wrong width using Graphics.getFontMetrics().getStringBounds() forItalic font

[Martin Chan]

When I use Graphics.getFontMetrics().getStringBounds() to calculate the
width of the string for Italic fonts, some portion of the last character
are cut. How to prevent it?

Any better method to calculate the width with different font style?

Thanks,
Martin Chan

Show us your code.

This is the same as the Font.getStringBounds method:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs...lang.String, java.awt.font.FontRenderContext)

the bounds returned is the logical bounds. To obtain the visual bounds
use the getVisualBounds method on GlyphVector, or the getPixelBounds
method for a specific render context.
