Hi,

When I work out the exact width of a font string "test" this size is not
enough when setting the column width to display "test".

Clearly there is some margin being used - how can I programmatically
determine what that margin is (that if the text is bigger it shows a ...
instead)

Cheers,
Grant

I found my answer - DefaultCellRenderer has a left and right margin of 4
pixels... would be nice if we could provide a getMargin so that we can
assign widths based on text font size without having to check for
changes in the source.
