Why I can't get it to run?

Hello,
I am new for processing and don't have programming background either, can someone help me?
I just down load Processing and can open the app, but when I copy and paste the one of the example's source code into the P5 window, and hit run, it only showing a blank screen with red "X" on the top left, I did installed JVM, and I can view the examples from this site, so what else I missed here?
the code I copy/paste to the P5 window are here:
// Kinetic Type
// by Zach Lieberman <http://www.thesystemis.com>
Line ln;
Line lns[];
BFont f;
String words[] = {
"sometimes it's like", "the lines of text", "are so happy", "that they want to dance",
"or leave the page or jump", "can you blame them?", "living on the page like that",
"waiting to be read..."
};
void setup()
{
size(200, 200);
framerate(30);
// array of line objects
lns = new Line[8];
// load the font. fonts are located within the
// main Processing directory/folder and they
// must be placed within the data directory
// of your sketch for them to load
f = loadFont("Univers66.vlw.gz");
textFont(f, 1f);
// white type, black background
fill(255);
// creating the line objects
for(int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
{
// for every line in the array, create a Line object to animate
// i * 70 is the spacing
ln = new Line(words[i], 0, i * 70, f);
lns[i] = ln;
}
}
void loop()
{
background(0);
translate((float)(width / 2.0) - 350, (height / 2.0) - 240, -450);
rotateY(0.3);
// now animate every line object & draw it...
for(int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
{
float f1 = sin((i + 1.0) * (millis() / 10000.0) * TWO_PI);
float f2 = sin((8.0 - i) * (millis() / 10000.0) * TWO_PI);
Line line = lns[i];
push();
translate(0.0, line.yPosition, 0.0);
for(int j = 0; j < line.myLetters.length; j++)
{
if(j != 0)
translate(f.width(line.myLetters[j - 1].myChar) * 75, 0.0, 0.0);
rotateY(f1 * 0.035 * f2);
push();
scale(75.0, 75.0, 75.0);
text(line.myLetters[j].myChar, 0.0, 0.0);
pop();
}
pop();
}
}
class Letter
{
char myChar;
float x;
float y;
Letter(char c, float f, float f1)
{
myChar = c;
x = f;
y = f1;
}
}
class Word
{
String myName;
int x;
Word(String s)
{
myName = s;
}
}
class Line
{
String myString;
int xPosition;
int yPosition;
int highlightNum;
BFont f;
float speed;
float curlInX;
Letter myLetters[];
Line(String s, int i, int j, BFont bagelfont)
{
myString = s;
xPosition = i;
yPosition = j;
f = bagelfont;
myLetters = new Letter[s.length()];
float f1 = 0.0F;
for(int k = 0; k < s.length(); k++)
{
char c = s.charAt(k);
f1 += bagelfont.width(c);
Letter letter = new Letter(c, f1, 0.0);
myLetters[k] = letter;
}
curlInX = 0.1;
}
}

perhaps you're making it too difficult for yourself.. this example you needn't even copy & paste, it's included with processing itself. just click the 'open' button, then go to examples, then "typography", then select "kinetic_type".
next, hit the 'run' button to make the example start, or hit 'export' if you want it to make an applet that you can run from a web page.
good luck
