Necesito cambiar el tamaño de la fuente de JLabel múltiple en función del factor de escala utilizado para cambiar el tamaño del contenedor. Para hacer esto, estoy configurando la fuente de cada JLabel como nula para que tomen la fuente del contenedor. Funciona, pero también produce resultados extraños.

Para ser específicos, el texto parece "retrasarse" detrás del contenedor y, a veces, incluso se trunca. Me gustaría evitar este comportamiento. ¿Alguna idea de cómo?

Código de ejemplo que simula el comportamiento:

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.GridBagConstraints;
import java.awt.GridBagLayout;
import java.awt.Insets;
import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;

import javax.swing.BorderFactory;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JSlider;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import javax.swing.WindowConstants;
import javax.swing.event.ChangeEvent;
import javax.swing.event.ChangeListener;

public class TextResize implements Runnable {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        TextResize example = new TextResize();
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(example);
    }

    public void run() {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("JLabel Text Resize");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(800, 400));

        Container container = frame.getContentPane();
        container.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

        final JPanel labelContainer = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
        labelContainer.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.black));

        //initial font
        final Font textFont = new Font("Lucida Console", Font.PLAIN, 10).deriveFont(AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(1, 1));
        labelContainer.setFont(textFont);

        GridBagConstraints c = new GridBagConstraints();
        c.fill = GridBagConstraints.BOTH;
        c.insets = new Insets(0, 10, 0, 10);
        c.weightx = 1;
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
            JLabel f = new JLabel("Text here with possibly looooooooong words");
            f.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.green));
            f.setFont(null);//take the font from parent
            c.gridy = i;
            labelContainer.add(f, c);
        }

        JSlider slider = new JSlider(0,50000,10000);
        slider.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() {     
            double containerWidth = labelContainer.getPreferredSize().getWidth();
            double containerHeight = labelContainer.getPreferredSize().getHeight();

            @Override
            public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent ev) {
                JSlider source = (JSlider) ev.getSource();
                double scale = (double) (source.getValue() / 10000d);

                //scaling the container
                labelContainer.setSize((int) (containerWidth * scale), (int) (containerHeight * scale));

                //adjusting the font: why does it 'lag' ? why the truncation at times?
                Font newFont = textFont.deriveFont(AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(scale, scale));
                labelContainer.setFont(newFont);

                //print (font.getSize() does not change?)
                System.out.println(scale + " " + newFont.getTransform() + newFont.getSize2D());
            }
        });

        container.add(slider, BorderLayout.NORTH);
        JPanel test = new JPanel();
        test.setLayout(null);
        labelContainer.setBounds(5, 5, labelContainer.getPreferredSize().width, labelContainer.getPreferredSize().height);
        test.add(labelContainer);
        container.add(test, BorderLayout.CENTER);

        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

}
