I'm having trouble finding stuff on accessing Windows fonts or predefined fonts, and sizes. So for my java program I have a JComboBox
with fonts, sizes, and colors. The problem is that I need to pre-Enter the fonts, sizes and colors. How would I be able to get the predefined fonts, colors, and sizes? So far this is what I have for this font but its not in the correct way.
if (font.equals("Arial")) {
if (size.equals("8")) {
setSize = 8;
} else if (size.equals("10")) {
setSize = 10;
} else if (size.equals("12")) {
setSize = 12;
}
if (color.equals("Black")) {
setColor = Color.BLACK;
} else if (color.equals("Blue")) {
setColor = Color.BLUE;
} else if (color.equals("Red")) {
setColor = Color.red;
}
Font font = new Font("Arial", setAttribute, setSize);
Writer.setFont(font);
Writer.setForeground(setColor);
Some of these dimensions include xx-small, x-small, small, medium, large, x-large, and xx-large. Font size may also be specified using Point, Pica, Inch, Centimeter, Millimeter, em, and percentage.
GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
String[] fonts = ge.getAvailableFontFamilyNames();
The sizes and styles can be set at run-time.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ShowFonts {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> {
GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
String[] fonts = ge.getAvailableFontFamilyNames();
JComboBox fontChooser = new JComboBox(fonts);
fontChooser.setRenderer(new FontCellRenderer());
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, fontChooser);
});
}
}
class FontCellRenderer extends DefaultListCellRenderer {
public Component getListCellRendererComponent(
JList list,
Object value,
int index,
boolean isSelected,
boolean cellHasFocus) {
JLabel label = (JLabel)super.getListCellRendererComponent(
list,value,index,isSelected,cellHasFocus);
Font font = new Font(value.toString(), Font.PLAIN, 20);
label.setFont(font);
return label;
}
}
The JDoc for GraphicsEnvironment.getAvailableFontFamilyNames()
state in part..
Returns an array containing the names of all font families in this
GraphicsEnvironment
localized for the default locale, as returned byLocale.getDefault()
