I have done it two ways:

1. generate simple HTML and have Swing render it. See
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/htmlrendering.html  I have had very little
success rendering "wild" HTML plucked from the web. You can do inline
styles, but the markup must be validated and vanilla.

2. I generate binary tokens, one for each string.  It includes the
text.  The type of the token encodes the font size, colours,
highlighting etc.  Then I use drawString to render this at the lowest
level.  See http://mindprod.com/products1.html#JDISPLAY
