I can give you an idea of how to do it. For the starting line number, determine how much the view has already been scrolled and divide it by the amount of pixels taken up by a line number.
If line numbers increment every 16 pixels, then:
starting line # = X/16
If a the number isn't a whole number, (like you get 4.25) then it means line 4 is only partially visible.
You can also find the last line number the same way by adding the amount already scrolled above the viewport and the height of the overall viewport.
ending line # = (X + viewport.height)/16
