You can use the java.awt.FontMetrics class and its methods. You create a FontMetrics instance by passing in a Font object and then you can use it to do calls like myFontMetrics.stringWidth("Some string");

 

Hope this helps, I think this is what you were asking but I am not totally sure.

Hi StackTrayce,

 

your way is possible, but i will avoid to use awt classes. I will try to use only jasper reports api functionality, but i didnt found any class/method.

 

Can anybody help?

 

Thanks
