In Java, the Font
class represents a font used to render text in a graphical user interface (GUI). The Font
class allows you to specify the typeface, style, and size of a font, as well as other properties such as the font's underline and strikethrough decorations.
Here's an example of how to create and use a Font
object in Java:
import java.awt.Font; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { // Create a font with a specific typeface, style, and size Font font = new Font("Verdana", Font.PLAIN, 12); // Use the font to render text // (implementation details depend on the specific graphics library being used) } }
This code creates a new font with the Verdana typeface, the PLAIN
style, and a size of 12 points.
You can use the Font
class to create and customize fonts for use in your Java programs. The Font
class provides several methods for modifying the font, such as the deriveFont()
method for creating a new font based on an existing font, and the getStyle()
and getSize()
methods for retrieving the style and size of a font.
You can find more information about the Font
class and its methods in the Java documentation.
