Tabs in TextFlows [message #185887]

I'm trying to implement tabstops for my text editor. It looks like
Graphics#drawString completely ignores tab characters, so I presume I
have to break the TextFlow into fragments based on the tabs in the
string, then somehow position the fragments appropriately. This is
problematic as 'fragments' is package private, so I can't do anything
with it in my subclass.

I'm also not sure where or how I'd position the fragments. I'm looking
in ParagraphTextLayout, FlowUtilities, and TextFragmentBox, but I don't
understand how the text actually gets into the position it's in. Any
help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Fred
