It's so long since I had to write any print routines using core Java code
that I cannot really remember the deatils but I do know that there is
support in the language for working out the space a line of text rendered in
a specific font will occupy. If I have the time today, I will look out the
code I put together way back when because I think it does something very
much like this; takes a line of text and inserts hard line breaks so that it
can be either printed out onto a page or rendered in some other way. Sorry
to say that I forgot about this completely last night.
