if you want to calculate the width of the text on the screen then perhaps the
class java.awt.FontMetrics is of some help though i never needed it and don't
know exactly how it works. have a look at the javadocs.

You could use a monospace font (e.g., font-family=Courier New, Courier,
monospace), measure the width of each character, and then count the
number of characters.
Of course, the font-size, will be significant. 8pt Courier text is a
little 2mm wide. You'd also have to consider that spaces at the end of
a line may be removed in favor of a linefeed.
Hope this helps!

Is there a solution für FOP?
