building a house

[dc2acgsr99]

In all actuality I have many questions here but heres one for starters. In my java class we are starting to do applets for html. Our first project to to make a house that will show up good in 800 x 600 resolution. The instructor recommended to draw it out in a grid first. Is there any special way I should draw this grid so the sizes of the objects are accurate when transfured to the pc?? If that makes any sence to anyone.

import javax.swing.*;

public class HouseDrawing extends JApplet {
    public void init() {
        add(new HouseDrawPanel());
    }
}

class HouseDrawPanel extends JPanel {
    int rows = 32;
    int cols = 32;
    int pad = 20;

    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        super.paintComponent(g);
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
        g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
                            RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
        int w = getWidth();
        int h = getHeight();
        double xInc = (double)(w - 2*pad)/cols;
        double yInc = (double)(h - 2*pad)/rows;
        g2.setPaint(new Color(210,200,230));
        for(int j = 0; j <= rows; j++) {
            double y = pad + j*yInc;
            g2.draw(new Line2D.Double(pad, y, w-pad, y));
        }
        for(int j = 0; j <= cols; j++) {
            double x = pad + j*xInc;
            g2.draw(new Line2D.Double(x, pad, x, h-pad));
        }
        g2.setPaint(Color.red);
        double x1 = pad + 5*xInc;
        double y1 = pad + (rows/2)*yInc;
        double x2 = x1;
        double y2 = pad + (rows-5)*yInc;

        g2.draw(new Line2D.Double(x1, y2, x2, y2));
        x1 = x2;
        double length = y2 - y1;
        y1 = y1 + length/2;
        g2.draw(new Line2D.Double(x1, y1, x2, y2));
    }

Just ran your program there and I must say thats impressive beyond my current abilities. I have My applet done but my question now is how do I change font size and make it bold? Here is the code I am working with, it is to be run as html at 800x600, and the font is the last part of the code...
