Bounding box for each character

[nguyenq]

I'd like to extend the Java Tutorial's Drawing Multiple Lines of Text example to draw the tight bounding boxes for each character. I searched through the Java doc but was not able to find which API is responsible for determining a character's bounds and origin so that I could pass to the Graphics.drawRect method to draw the boxes. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

java.awt.font.TextLayout#getBounds()

That gives the bounding box for the entire line. I'm looking for the coordinates and origin of each individual character in that line.

Update: Seems that class GlyphVector's getGlyphVisualBounds and getGlyphPosition methods have what I need.

Thanks.
