I do not think its 100% safe. Since there is not necessarily a 1:1 mapping of glyphs to chars, then some chars may be completely elided away and have no representation in the returned set from calling this API on each of the glyph indices. I'd have to check if its universally true but in our implementation elided away chars typically are replaced by the special 'invisible glyph', so it may appear to work for that reason, but that's not guaranteed by spec.

Hello again, I am trying to get the number of chars that a GlyphVector represents The following line seems to work: myGlyphVector.getGlyphCharIndex(myGlyphVector.getNumGlyphs()); The problem is that reading the documentation for getGlyphCharIndex(int glyphIndex) gives me the feeling that the method should throw an IndexOutOfBounds exception if the value of glyphIndex equals the number of glyphs (just like you get an exception when calling myArray[myArray.length]). But on the other hand it does not explicitly say that any parameter greater or equal to the number of glyphs will throw an exception. Can I reliably use the method to determine the number of chars in a glyph vector or is there a chance that my code will not work on other VMs or future versions? Maybe the documentation should be updated to clarify the behaviour? Or is there even a better day to get the number of chars represented by a glyphVector?
