Yes, it obviously gives the position of a line or of a segment not directly adherent to the previous one because you add data to the StringBuilder exactly in those situations, i.e. if (dist < -chunk.charSpaceWidth), if (dist > chunk.charSpaceWidth / 2.0f), and if not (chunk.SameLine(lastChunk)). You completely forget the case of chunk.text containing a space character, let alone many! If there is a space character in the chunk, you have to analyze the partial chunk dimensions. Unfortunately the necessary information is lost at that point in time because TextChunk does not carry the needed data. Thus, unless you want to enhance the TextChunk class, you should check already in RenderText() whether renderInfo.GetText() contains space characters, split the TextRenderInfo into individual character TextRenderInfo objects if it does (TextRenderInfo has a method for that!), and add the matching multiple TextChunk objects. Now when you hit a text chunk consisting only of a space character, you found the end of a word. Additionally you add lastWidth += rect.Width but completely forget the dist. Furthermore you also only set your variables `last*` at the beginning of a line. Whenever you process a horizontal gap, though, i.e. whenever (the absolute value of) dist is too big, you set them to 0.
