getWidths calls charWidth, which calls getWidths, and back again until the stack is hammered.
This is code from java.awt.FontMetrics.java v. 1.14: (comments mine)

    public int charWidth(char ch) { if (ch < 256) { return getWidths()[ch]; // YOW! } char data[] = {ch}; return charsWidth(data, 0, 1); }
    public int[] getWidths() { int widths[] = new int[256]; for (char ch = 0 ; ch < 256 ; ch++) { widths[ch] = charWidth(ch); // Whoops! } return widths; }
