Hi,

I'm drawing text in Graphics2D by setting a font with AttributedString (see
code below)

AttributedString as = new AttributedString(text);
as.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FAMILY, textElement.getFontName());
as.addAttribute(TextAttribute.SIZE,new Float(textElement.getFontSize()));´

My Question: is there any possibilty to get the width of the text before
it's drawing?
I tried the "normal" way by using a new Font object, but i was'nt able to
underline text, so i had to take
the AttributedString solution.

best regards Andreas
