All I've managed so far (aside from fixing other pull requestes) is to simplify drw_font_getexts. Instead of that, there is now a function that only returns width in pixels. See attached. However, this new function still needs to know three things: 1. The font to use 2. The text to be rendered 3. The length in bytes of the utf8 encoded string No. 2 is easy. No. 1 and 3 are all tangled up in drw_text. So, before calls to drw_text and TEXTW can be replaced with drw_get_width, those pieces need to be decoupled somehow. I'll start working on that, but it may be a while. I'm very new to Java 7.
