Not sure how helpful this is, but you can "extract" the GlyphVectors from a TextLayout by drawing it onto a "proxy" Graphics2D which serves only to capture or modify the GlyphVectors as they come in. I've had to do this in order to customize the TextLayout rendering, for example to support shadowed and embossed text. You have to be a little careful because the implementation of TextLayout may vary platform to platform. For example the Apple impl uses drawString instead of drawGlyphVector.
