start can be non-zero since the method is public. Otherwise it counts newlines before the start of the actual text in range.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Uh oh!

The text will show up at the correct height (here green) instead of counting newlines preceding it before the range (here red).

The example code:

String text = "Some\n\ntext\nwith\nnewlines";
char[] chars;
float textWidth;

void setup() {
    size(500, 500, P2D);
    textFont(createFont("Arial", 50));
    textAlign(LEFT, TOP);
    chars = text.toCharArray();
    textWidth = textWidth(text.substring(6, text.length()));
}

void draw() {
    background(20);
    
    fill(#FF5555);
    text(chars, 6, text.length(), 0, 0);
    
    fill(#55FF55);
    text(text.substring(6, text.length()), width / 2, 0);
}
