Its not quite that simple, since getStringBounds() needs to know the G2D
It is believed that Swing's metrics calculations are structured in a way that
assumes the metrics are not affected by anything. This would probably
require significant changes in Swing, possibly with some performance impact.
The Swing team will look into how they should handle this, but its not
going to make a release this year, so the recommendation is not to use A-A text.
