FOP is good but can be very slow, especially on low-end machines.

Our company (eInnovation) develops an open-source library called EII
Commons (http://www.einnovation.com/projects/eiicommons/) which contains
a print preview widget that works with any java.awt.Pageable, if you're
interested.  I'm not sure what license we're using for our code now, but
it's either LGPL or a BSD-style one.

Yes, I'd love that.

I'd also love to see a feature whereby if one is reading a Greek text
(I'd also love to see Nestle/Aland!), one could hover one's mouse over a
word to see a multi-line tooltip indicating its morphology and
definitions.  For example:

jen arx`h `hn ho l'ogos...

Hovering over "`hn" would produce something like:
