Method	Description
getCharNumAtPosition	Gets the index of the character that the glyph cell bounding box contains at the specified point.
getComputedTextLength	Returns the total sum of all advance values from rendering all characters within the given text element.
getEndPositionOfChar	Gets the current text position of the specified character after the character is rendered in the user coordinate system where the glyphs that correspond to the specified character are rendered.
getExtentOfChar	Gets a rectangle that defines the minimum and maximum x-coordinate and y-coordinate values in the user coordinate system where the glyphs that correspond to the specified character are rendered.
getNumberOfChars	Gets the total number of characters that are available for rendering within the current element.
getRotationOfChar	Gets the rotation value of the specified character, relative to the current user coordinate system where the glyphs that corresponding to the specified character are rendered.
getStartPositionOfChar	Gets the current text position of the specified character before the character is rendered in the user coordinate system where the glyphs that correspond to the specified character are rendered.
getSubStringLength	Calculates the total sum of all advance values from rendering the specified substring of the characters.
hasExtension	Determines if the specified extension is supported.
selectSubString	Selects the specified substring, just as if a user selected the substring interactively.
