This should be the correct place for this purpose. If this method does not do what it promises, then this it might be a bug. You should check it against the behaviour of Sun's JDK, and file a bug report if you feel that we do something wrong here. If you are familiar with programming, you could also write a small testcase that shows where we are wrong. BTW: Another good place to look for such a mechanism could be javax.swing.text.Utilities.
