    I don't think you want to compute the font size in the paint() call.
    Instead, use a ComponentListener to listen for componentResized() events,
    compute all of the metrics needed for painting, and save the results.
    Then, use the saved results in your paint() method.

    Chances are that your UI will be repainted *many* more times than it is
    resized. Why recompute the metrics on every repaint?
