Implement AWT Text Dimensions

Question

The implementation of Java 6 (J2SE) classes AttributedString, TextLayoutand LineBreakMeasureruses smoothing properties and fractional mathematics to calculate metrics. This leads to a serious decrease in performance.

What suggestions (for Cent OS Linux) do you need to improve performance? For instance:

• Faster JVM (JDK 1.7, Oracle JRockit, IBM)
• Different AWT implementation (any?)

Thank!

Answer 1

Is the class different java.awt.FontMetrics? It can still be used by the classes you mentioned, but at least it's a pre-Java implementation.
