Please is there another way how to change Font at runtime as using FontUIResource, for the whole AWT/Swing GUI, without any knowledge / interest about if there are local variables and type of JComponents

For instance: Create a new Font from the FontFamily list, and apply it to your component with c.setFont (font);
A second approach is, to search for TTF-Files (for example), and create new Fonts with the static method Font.createFont (new File ("..."));
This simple app will create a List of Fonts by family, and apply it to a JButton and JTextField.
