Hmm... you should see PP :) It draws bouding boxes around linked cells and
then connection between boxes. It will look pretty ugly if one 4 letter
word have bounding box for 80 character line.

Ok. I *did* it by characters, because doing it by pixels seeemed to
complicated then. But I think starting with characters would be good, and
then move one letter steps back or forward until correct position is
found.

Another way to do this is could be the way I did finding font size in
AWT's ScalableFont. Recursive function, which starts from the middle of
the strint and checks is the wanted position greater or lesser, splits
string into half, and starts a new recursions with the correct half. Of
course this needs a little optimization, e.g. check first shoudl the
cursor be either at the beginning or at the end of the line.
