We have an instance of Font and would like to get the font metrics for
it.  In JDK 1.1 and earlier you would use Toolkit#getFontMetrics.  I see
that it is now deprecated.   The JDK 1.2 documentation refers me to
Font#retrieveLineMetrics, but when I go to the JavaDoc for that class,
the method retrieveLineMetrics doesn't exist.

I have heard of two work arounds for the issue, but neither work for us,
because we don't have a graphics instance and our object is not a
subclass of component.  So armed with an instance of Font, is there any
way to get a LineMetrics instance?

Thanks in advance,
David
