The information in this article applies to:
The java.awt.Font class represents a font in a platform-independent way. This class restricts the programmer to using a small subset of the fonts installed on a user's system. Microsoft's VM exposes a class to access all of the TrueType fonts installed on the user's system.
The com.ms.awt.FontX class provides access to all of the fonts that are installed on the user's system. This class creates a new font with the specified name, style, and point size. It is used to access system fonts on the Microsoft® Win32® platform not otherwise available in Java (for example, the "symbol" font). This class is available only for the Microsoft VM.
public AWTFontXDemo() { appFrame = new Frame("TrueType Font Demo"); appFrame.setLayout(new BorderLayout()); edit = new TextArea("Enter some text"); button = new Button("Change Font"); appFrame.add(edit,"Center"); appFrame.add(button,"South"); button.addActionListener(this); appFrame.setSize(320,200); appFrame.setVisible(true); } public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) { UIFontDialog dialog = new UIFontDialog(FxToolkit.getHelperUIFrame()); dialog.show(); FontX font = (FontX)dialog.getFxFont(); edit.setFont(font); edit.repaint(); } }
