You can override the getPreferredSize() method and have it return an
adjusted dimension based on the currently active font. You can also force
a know font (see
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/intl/physicalfont.html>).

May I ask why you don't want to use HTML? Under the surface, when it comes
to simple styling issues, HTML is treated pretty much like styled
text. One can think of it as a convenient non-programmatic way of
specifying what formatting you want to apply.
