18.25 java.awt.FontMetrics (JDK 1.0)This class represents font metrics for a specified Font. The methods allow you to determine the overall metrics for the font (ascent, descent, etc.), and also to compute the width of strings that are to be displayed in a particular font. You can obtain a FontMetrics object for a font with the getFontMetrics() method of Component or Toolkit.
