fontmetrics java,Java的图形：从字体构造的FontMetrics，没有一个Graphics2D

Known

There is a protected constructor for FontMetrics from Font.

Question:

Given a Font object, is there a way to construct a FontMetrics object without going through Graphics2D.setFont, Graphics2D.getFontMetric()?

Context

I'm playing with a TeX like rendering algorithm. I need to calculate bounding boxes & the such for various characters from a *.pfb file. I can construct a Font object from the *.pfb file. I need a FontMetrics object to get the ascent, descent, width. It just seems very ugly for me to have to construct an unused intermediate Graphics object just to get at the FontMetrics.

See BufferedImage.createGraphics() or getGraphics() for an alternative way to get the Graphics instance.
