[Bug awt/24754] New: FontMetrics handling of newlines broken

[roman at kennke dot org]

The handling of newlines is broken. It should be treated as a character with
zero width. What the GTK peer do instead is return the maximum width of the
lines in the string. Run the attached testcase and you get the following with
the JDK:

address@hidden:~/src/test$ java TestRightAlignment
width of 'abcde': 36
width of 'abcde\nfghij': 61
width of 'abcdefghij': 61


The GTK peers return the following instead:

width of 'abcde': 39
width of 'abcde\nfghij': 39
width of 'abcdefghij': 65

I don't know what the Qt peers do here.
