TicTacToe game question....IMPORTANT

I am, at my Dad's request, trying to make a tic-tac-toe game. I have two questions. My first question is: what is an easy way to set font sizes, and placement on an applet. Also, is there a way to have the mouseListener listen for a range of values? I'm asking because I have squares that the user will click to indicate their move. Once the square is clicked I will have code to draw an "X" on it. Then I will have the computer move accordingly. I'm rather confused as to the best way to do this in Java... I've done this in Qbasic and VisualBasic.

any and all suggestions would be greatly appriciated.
