please compile and run

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.swing.*;

public class TestFont extends JFrame {

    public static void main(String[] args ) {
        TestFont tsb = new TestFont();
tsb.show();
    }

    public TestFont() {
setBounds(20,20,400,600);
setBackground(Color.white);
setFont( new Font("SansSerif",Font.BOLD,20));
JPanel p = new FontPanel();

getContentPane().add("Center",p);
    }
}
class FontPanel extends JPanel {
public void paint(Graphics g) {
int leftMargin = 20;
int y = 120;
//g.setFont( new Font("SansSerif",Font.BOLD,20)); tried this with same effect.
g.drawString("AB CDI Ii iJWjk", leftMargin, y);

int W = getFontMetrics(g.getFont()).stringWidth("AB CDI Ii iJWjk");
g.drawLine(leftMargin,y,leftMargin + W,y);

}
}
You will notice that the underline is much longer than the text string.
If you replace the JPanel by Panel and JFrame by Frame and replace the getContentPane() by a simple add()
you will get an AWT version which underlines to the same length as the drawn text.

Have a Very Good Xmas good wishes for the New Year.
