Peter,
First the delay in getting any response is because this isn't a Java2D
question so I don't
think there's a whole lot of expertise on this list in this area.
I am informed that a better place to have asked this question would have
been :
http://developers.sun.com/contact/feedback.jsp?category=j2se&mailsubject=Internationalization%20(I18N)
which I agree is obscure.
Anyway I asked the experts and the response I received was:
>And for the break iterator question, assuming that s/he refers to "a
non-letter supplementary character"
>by "a non-letter surrogate", I think the code happens to work even
though the loop is doing "p++",
>since a stand alone surrogate code point is always non-letter. So it
just skips the low surrogate in the loop.
For further clarification I suggest the above mentioned web form.

The BreakIterator description contains the following example.\

Find the next word:
public static int nextWordStartAfter(int pos, String text) {
BreakIterator wb = BreakIterator.getWordInstance();
wb.setText(text);
int last = wb.following(pos);
int current = wb.next();
while (current != BreakIterator.DONE) {
for (int p = last; p < current; p++) {
if (Character.isLetter(text.codePointAt(p))
return last;
}
last = current;
current = wb.next();
}
return BreakIterator.DONE;
}

In the inner for loop, what happens if a non-letter surrogate is found?
