Font Metrics for SVG Font

[poozle <jd...@bath.ac.uk>]

Hi

I was wondering if there was a way to obtain the font metrics for an SVGFont
in the same way as you can for a "standard" font, I have been using standard
fonts but due to their unpredictability I have decided that SVG fonts are a
much better way to go.  My current code works by getting the font metrics
from the JSVGCanvas (for the font required) and then using those to get the
font height, and widths of a number of strings.

eg.

FontMetrics fontMetrics = canvas.getFontMetrics(font);
int lineHeight = fontMetrics.getHeight()-1;
int wordWidth = fontMetrics.stringWidth(words[i]);

But this doesn't work for SVGFonts.

Any help anyone can give will be greatly appreciated.

Jon
