Font size calculation

Hi,

How do i calculate the font size from a string based on the type of font is
selected ? Like FontMetrics in Java AWT API, Is there any API in PDFBox to
do the calculation ?

Thanks,
Sasi

Have a look at [1]. It shows how to put some text into a pdf including some font 
height/width calculations.
