Using LineBreakMeasurer causes line to break badly

Question

Hello all
I'm having a problem with some printing code. First I determine the min/maxs required to display some column data using <metrics>.stringWidth(). Once I figure out how much space can be in a column I go through and use LineBreakMeasurer to format each line to within the specified column space. Unfortunately in one instance the data is being broken when it shouldn't. Here are the routines...
    int breakLines(final String text, final float width, final Font font,
                      final ArrayList list)
        if (0 < text.length()) {
         final String[] tokens = text.split("\\\n");
         for (int i = 0; i < tokens.length; i++) {
          final AttributedString attText = new AttributedString(tokens);
     attText.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FONT, font);
     final LineBreakMeasurer lineBreaker =
new LineBreakMeasurer(attText.getIterator(),
                                   new FontRenderContext(null, true, true));
               TextLayout layout = lineBreaker.nextLayout(width);
               do {
                    list.add(layout);
                    layout = lineBreaker.nextLayout(width);
               } while (null != layout);
     return list.size();

Okay - the editor messed me up. Took my partial e-mail and posted it.
Here's the code (again).
    private void findMinMax(final int idx, final String text,
              final FontMetrics metrics)
        double width = metrics.stringWidth(text);
        mMax[idx] = Math.max(mMax[idx], (int)Math.ceil(X_PAD + width));
        final String[] tokens = text.split(" ");
        for (int i = 0; i < tokens.length; i++) {
         width = metrics.stringWidth(tokens);
     mMin[idx] = Math.max(mMin[idx], (int)Math.ceil(X_PAD + width));
int breakLines(final String text, final float width, final Font font,
               final ArrayList list)
if (0 < text.length()) {
     final String[] tokens = text.split("\\\n");
     for (int i = 0; i < tokens.length; i++) {
     final AttributedString attText = new AttributedString(tokens[i]);
     attText.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FONT, font);
     final LineBreakMeasurer lineBreaker =
          new LineBreakMeasurer(attText.getIterator(),
                    new FontRenderContext(null, true, true));
     TextLayout layout = lineBreaker.nextLayout(width);
do {
     list.add(layout);
     layout = lineBreaker.nextLayout(width);
     } while (null != layout);
return list.size();
The problem is when a single word is the only string in a column (like "Sticks"). The last character 's' is ending up on another line!
Why? The 'width' passed in is the value determined from 'findMinMax' minus the X_PAD. The metrics passed into 'findMinMax' are metrics retrieved using the font passed into 'breakLines'.
Any help appreciated.
