Buggy source:
/** 
 * Determines the bounding box of the character at the given index into the string.  The bounds are returned in local coordinates.  If the index is invalid a null rectangle is returned. The screen coordinates returned are "unscrolled coordinates" if the JTextComponent is contained in a JScrollPane in which case the resulting rectangle should be composed with the parent coordinates.  A good algorithm to use is: <nf> Accessible a: AccessibleText at = a.getAccessibleText(); AccessibleComponent ac = a.getAccessibleComponent(); Rectangle r = at.getCharacterBounds(); Point p = ac.getLocation(); r.x += p.x; r.y += p.y; </nf> Note: the JTextComponent must have a valid size (e.g. have been added to a parent container whose ancestor container is a valid top-level window) for this method to be able to return a meaningful (non-null) value.
 * @param i the index into the String >= 0
 * @return the screen coordinates of the character's bounding box
