Getting the bounding box of text outlines

Let's say I'm getting the outlines of a text layer via AEGP_GetNewTextOutlines, how would I best determine the bounding box of this outline? I'm trying to test for whether the user's Text layer's text actually fits within a specified rectangle.

Thanks!

There's a method in "LayerSuite" called "AEGP_GetLayerMaskedBounds" is doing what you want

Apologies for resurrecting this thread. I used AEGP_GetLayerMaskedBounds to get the bounds of the text layer but it doesn't seem to take into account any transforms, so even when I move the layer the bounds don't update. Am I doing something wrong?
