Get a strings length with FontMetrics

Question

Hi,
I am using the following code to get the width of a string with FontMetrics. The problem is that the ToolKit .getFontMetrics has been deprecated. My class is a going to be used by a xslt stylesheet, so I do not have Components. How do I obtain the width of a string without a component?
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.FontMetrics;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
public class StringLength {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws NumberFormatException {
          if(args.length < 2){
               System.out.println("StringLength <string> <int font size>");
               System.exit(0);
          }else{
               getStringLength(args[0], Integer.parseInt(args[1]));                                   
     @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
     public static int getStringLength(String str, int size){
          Toolkit toolkit =  Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
          int stringlen = 0;                    
          Font font = new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 9);          
          FontMetrics fontMetrics = toolkit.getFontMetrics(font); //Depreciated
          System.out.println ("[Stylesheet Info] Calculating width for: " + str + ": "  + fontMetrics.stringWidth(str));
          stringlen = fontMetrics.stringWidth(str);     
          return stringlen;
}

Thanks - when all else fails, read the directions :)
Solution:
Font font = new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 9);
FontRenderContext frc = new FontRenderContext(null, false, false);          
int stringWidth = (int)font.getStringBounds(str, frc).getWidth();
System.out.println ("[Stylesheet Info] Calculating width for: " + str + ": "  + stringWidth);          
return stringWidth;
