Printing a text document using Java

Alright, I have made a program that makes a text file. The text file is a different size every time the program is ran. I simply just want to add a print button that allows the user to print out the text file to a printer. I made a button with an action listener that brings up my print class. It is almost working except it only prints one page with my text displayed in horizontal columns extremely small. I think my problem has something to do with my printJob setup. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
public class PrintingClass implements Printable {
// Global variables
int[] pageBreaks;
String [] textLines;
static String fileName;
public static void print(String filename){
fileName = filename;
PrintingClass object = new PrintingClass();
PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
job.setPrintable(object);
Boolean ok = job.printDialog();
if (ok) {
try {
job.print();
} catch (PrinterException ex) {
/* The job did not successfully complete */
}
}
}
public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int pageIndex)
throws PrinterException {
Font font = new Font("Monospaced", Font.PLAIN, 12);
FontMetrics metrics = g.getFontMetrics(font);
int lineHeight = metrics.getHeight();
if (pageBreaks == null) {
initTextLines();
int linesPerPage = (int)(pf.getImageableHeight()/lineHeight);
System.out.println("Lines per page = " + linesPerPage);
int numBreaks = (textLines.length-1)/linesPerPage;
System.out.println("number of pages = " + numBreaks);
pageBreaks = new int[numBreaks];
for (int b=0; b<numBreaks; b++) {
pageBreaks[b] = (b+1)*linesPerPage;
}
}
if (pageIndex > pageBreaks.length) {
return NO_SUCH_PAGE;
}
/* User (0,0) is typically outside the imageable area, so we must
* translate by the X and Y values in the PageFormat to avoid clipping
* Since we are drawing text we
*/
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
g2d.translate(pf.getImageableX(), pf.getImageableY());
/* Draw each line that is on this page.
* Increment 'y' position by lineHeight for each line.
*/
int y = 0;
int start = (pageIndex == 0) ? 0 : pageBreaks[pageIndex-1];
int end = (pageIndex == pageBreaks.length)
? textLines.length : pageBreaks[pageIndex];
for (int line=start; line<end; line++) {
y += lineHeight;
g.drawString(textLines[line], 0, y);
}
/* tell the caller that this page is part of the printed document */
return PAGE_EXISTS;
}
/**
* This will initialize the textLines[] variable
* and read in my file
* #param fileName
*/
public void initTextLines(){
// Get file size
int fileSize = counter();
// Initialize textLine
textLines = new String[fileSize];
// Read text to set lines
BufferedReader file;
try {
file = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));
String line = null;
int x = 0;
while((line = file.readLine()) != null){
textLines[x] = line;
x++;
}
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
/**
* This will simply count the size of the file

public int counter(){
int count = 0;

How to put color to specific cells in ods file using java

Here I am able to merge/span the cell using 'setColumnSpannedNumber()' but could not set background color of the cell and alignment.I am using odfdom-java-0.8.6.jar currently..please suggest me a way to set the color for the cells. Thank you.
try
{
document = OdfSpreadsheetDocument.newSpreadsheetDocument();
OdfOfficeSpreadsheet contentRoot = document.getContentRoot();
Node node = contentRoot.getFirstChild();
while (node != null) {
contentRoot.removeChild(node);
node = contentRoot.getFirstChild();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
signature throws Exception
throw new ReportFileGenerationException("Cannot create new ODF spread sheet document. Error: "+ e.getMessage(), e);
}
OdfTable table = OdfTable.newTable(document);
for (int i = 0; i < report.size(); i++) {
List<String> row = report.get(i);
for (int j = 0; j < row.size(); j++) {
String str= row.get(j);
String newStr = str.replaceAll("[\u0000-\u001f]", "");
OdfTableCell cell = table.getCellByPosition(j, i);
if(i==0 && j==17)
{
cell.setColumnSpannedNumber(4);
cell.setCellBackgroundColor(new Color("#ffff00"));
cell.setHorizontalAlignment("center");
}
else if(i==0 && j==21)
{
cell.setColumnSpannedNumber(4);
}
else if(i==0 && j==25)
{
cell.setColumnSpannedNumber(4);
}
else if(i==0 && j==29)
{
cell.setColumnSpannedNumber(4);
}
else if(i==0 && j==33)
{
cell.setColumnSpannedNumber(4);
}
cell.setStringValue(newStr);
}
}
ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
try {
document.save(os);
return os.toByteArray();
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new ReportFileGenerationException("Cannot save the ODF spread sheet document as byte array. Error: "
+ e.getMessage(), e);
} finally {
Helper.close(os);
}
}
}

I use the API property CellBackColor, not CellBackgroundColor.
Also HoriJustify rather than HorizontalAlignment.
At least in StarBasic, this is how I set background colors:
Dim Yellow As Long : Yellow = 16777113
Dim Blue As Long : Blue = 13434879
Dim White As Long : White = -1
Dim Red As Long : Red = 15425853
cell.setCellBackColor(Yellow)
If I want a new color, I manually recolor the background and then use a macro to read out the Long value associated with that color.
And to center align:
cell.setHoriJustify(2)

Java video output can only be opened using Quicktime but no other media player can open it

I have a program and that captures the screen and then takes those images and turns them into a movie. (Using the JpegImagesToMovies.java that was customized to work with .png) I have tried multiple extensions: .mov, .mp4, .avi (I am open to trying others). However, regardless of what extension I use, when I try to open the file with Windows Media Player I get the following error:
Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file.
Error code C00D11B1
I've also tried opening the file using VLC but that produces the following error:
No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "twos". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
Opening the file using QuickTime does work.
So the question is, how can I produce a video file that can be opened with most if not all media players.
Here is my JpegImagesToMovie.java

Fonts do not display correctly - Java

I have some words in English that have been translated into Tamil. The task requires me to display them. An example line is given below. The first and second lines are in Tamil while the last is in Bengali.

If you notice above, the text in some lines does not render correctly because it is written in custom fonts. The custom font can be downloaded from here. My problem:
1. All Tamil fonts (custom and pre-loaded) have been installed. None of the text displays correctly. Why?
2. Is there a problem with the way that I am loading custom fonts?
3. In the above lines, the second column is pre-loaded font while the third column is written in custom fonts. The third column does not seem like it is Unicode, which is why application of any font also fails. What is going on?

The above text was written by professional translators. So, is there something here that I am missing?

to test the concrete Font with methods in API Font.canDisplay
required to test in Unicode form (for mixing chars from a few languages (Tamil & Bengali))
please can you post and SSCCE, with used Font and can be based on

First line and last line in jtextarea viewport

i am looking for a function which gives the viewport starting line and viewport ending line from jtextarea. The below code works fine. But when the number of lines in the jtextarea is too big, say 10,000 lines, response of the cursor becoming very slow. I narrowed down the line which is causing it, it is,
startLine = getRow(topLeft, editorTextArea) - 1; //editorTextArea is jtextarea name
endLine = getRow(bottomRight, editorTextArea);
I am calling the startAndEndLine() on every keyPressEvent
Can someone suggest me a better code, which is efficient?
private void startAndEndLine() {
Rectangle r = editorTextArea.getVisibleRect();
Point topLeft = new Point(r.x, r.y);
Point bottomRight = new Point(r.x + r.width, r.y + r.height);
try {
startLine = getRow(topLeft, editorTextArea) - 1;
endLine = getRow(bottomRight, editorTextArea);
} catch (Exception ex) {
// System.out.println(ex);
}
}
public int getViewToModelPos(Point p, JTextComponent editor) {
int pos = 0;
try {
pos = editor.viewToModel(p);
} catch (Exception ex) {
}
return pos;
}
public int getRow(Point point, JTextComponent editor) {
int pos = getViewToModelPos(point, editor);
int rn = (pos == 0) ? 1 : 0;
try {
int offs = pos;
while (offs > 0) {
offs = Utilities.getRowStart(editor, offs) - 1;
rn++;
}
} catch (BadLocationException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
return rn;
}

This is based on a solution by JigarJoshi from this question Java: column number and line number of cursor's current position ... You gotta love this site ;)
protected int getLineNumber(int modelPos) throws BadLocationException {
return textArea.getLineOfOffset(modelPos) + 1;
}
Rectangle viewRect = scrollPane.getViewport().getViewRect();
Point startPoint = viewRect.getLocation();
int pos = textArea.viewToModel(startPoint);
try {
int startLine = getLineNumber(pos);
Point endPoint = startPoint;
endPoint.y += viewRect.height;
pos = textArea.viewToModel(endPoint);
int endLine = getLineNumber(pos);
System.out.println(startLine + " - " + endLine);
} catch (BadLocationException exp) {
}
This is not entirely accurate, but gives you a starting point.
