Change font in AttributeSet (Urgent!)

Hi,
Is it possible to change the font attribute in an AttributeSet ? I would like to replace the current font to an font derived from it. (with an affineTransform).
Anybody?
Greetings,
Korque

Hi,
Iterator can solve this.
The iterator object for a table control is the one which finally renders/outputs the control on the screen. If you have worked with ALV reports, iterator is comparable to Field Catalog.
Just like in field catalog yo can set the display of a field(hotspot, checkbox) etc, using iterator this can be achieved in Tabel view
All that needs to be done in this case is to code the 3rd method of iterator. Change the font for the fields using the factory methods provided. For eg if it is an input field u can use the "font" attribute of the method to increase/decrease or change the font.
After the changes are set, this has to be applied to the control which is done by putting the object with changes in replacement bee object.
I think this should give you a picture to start with.
For sample code for iterator follow...
Se80-> open BSP Application SBSPEXT_BSP-> open main application-> go to local classes(can find one for iterator)-> go to implementation of iterator local class.
Thanks,
Rashmi.

You need to create two printer definition files, one for landscape and one for protrait which set the width/height of the page.
Changing fonmts needs to be done by knowing the escape characters that printer uses and set in the layout triggers for the item.

Changing font to a custom font - styleddocument

hello
i've been trying to change the font in a styleddocument to a custom one that is not registered on the pc
(i'm trying to make an application that holds the fonts in a folder, so that they can be dynamically loaded when needed)
until now nothing worked
i've tried 2 ways atm:
        JTextPane background = new JTextPane();
        StyledDocument styledDoc = background.getStyledDocument();
        if (styledDoc instanceof AbstractDocument) {
            doc = (AbstractDocument)styledDoc;
        } else {
            System.err.println("Text pane's document isn't an AbstractDocument!");
        initAttributes();
        background.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
        background.setEditable(false);
        File file = new File("fonts/mCode15.ttf");
     FileInputStream fis = null;
        Font font = null;
        try {
            fis = new FileInputStream(file);
            font = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, fis);
        } catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(MatrixWindow.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        } catch (FontFormatException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(MatrixWindow.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(MatrixWindow.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        background.setFont(font);    // FAILS
        SimpleAttributeSet attrs = new SimpleAttributeSet();
        StyleConstants.setFontSize(attrs, 12);
        StyleConstants.setBold(attrs, true);
        StyleConstants.setForeground(attrs, Color.WHITE);
        StyleConstants.setFontFamily(font.getFontFamily);      // FAILSdoes anybody know any working solution for CUSTOM fonts?

You should override public Font getFont(AttributeSet attr) method to return proper font with attributes.
See how it works in src of DefaultStyledDocument class.

Nokia Lumina 800 Change Font Size ?

I just got a new Nokia Lumina 800, and the text font is so small I cant read most it.
(I've some replies where nokia are claiming itsa 'visually impaired' problem. Nokia take note.... I had an eye test recently and have 20/20 vision).
Googling I cant believe there is no facility to change font size. YOU CANT CHANGE THE TEXT FONT SIZE ??? Was the device only useability tested on teenagers ?
Nokia: so my question is specifically WHEN will there be an update to correct this ? Or do i return the device and switch to android ?
I'd priortise this a an URGENT issue.

@ kevgallacher
You are very lucky to not have an issue with the font size, some of us don’t have perfect vision and it would make life a lot easier to be able to choose a font size and colour that best suits our own visual ability. If you open a contact up and have a look at the headings which are in white against the black background (if you have dark set for back ground) then under that is the details that you enter, they are almost half the size of the heading font and are the same colour as the selected theme so I have chosen the lime green theme as this helps to make them clearer for me. Don’t know if you have heard but some people do suffer from colour blindness so some colour combination mean that they wont see some colours at all. So please this is an issue for me and some other users, I happy to hear your vision is excellent and its not a problem for you but it may not be like that for ever so this might become an issue for yourself one day. Please Nokia have a look at this and update it to either allow us to customize the font or allow pinch to zoom.

How do I change font and colors back to default?

I have changed the font and color of the text through the tools button and the options button and the content tab. I find nothing telling me how to change the font and colors back to default font and colors. Can you advise me? I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium OS. Thanks.

Hi Brenda19605,
You can use this article to set the fonts and colors: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-fonts-and-colors-websites-use?esab=a&s=font&r=0&as=s
The default settings for the font are in this article:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Some%20text%20shows%20up%20bold%20after%20upgrade
Unfortunately for the default colors has no good reference. But for text it is black (most lower left) color, background is white (most upper left color). Unvisited links is blue (column 8, row 5) and visited link is purple (column 9, row 5).
Let me know if you need anymore help!

Email will not let me change fonts all of a sudden.

Email will not let me change fonts all of a sudden. It says I don't have the neccesay permissions in ~/library/preferences. this has just happened recently.

Who is your email provider?
You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.
If yes, try deleting the mail account and adding it again.

How to change font/ font color etc in a graphic object using JCombobox?

Hello
My program im writing recently is a small tiny application which can change fonts, font sizes, font colors and background color of the graphics object containing some strings. Im planning to use Jcomboboxes for all those 4 ideas in implementing those functions. Somehow it doesnt work! Any help would be grateful.
So currently what ive done so far is that: Im using two classes to implement the whole program. One class is the main class which contains the GUI with its components (Jcomboboxes etc..) and the other class is a class extending JPanel which does all the drawing. Therefore it contains a graphics object in that class which draws the string. However what i want it to do is using jcombobox which should contain alit of all fonts available/ font sizes/ colors etc. When i scroll through the lists and click the one item i want - the graphics object properties (font sizes/ color etc) should change as a result.
What ive gt so far is implemented the jcomboboxes in place. Problem is i cant get the font to change once selecting an item form it.
Another problem is that to set the color of font - i need to use it with a graphics object in the paintcomponent method. In this case i dnt want to create several diff paint.. method with different property settings (font/ size/ color)
Below is my code; perhaps you'll understand more looking at code.
public class main...
Color[] Colors = {Color.BLUE, Color.RED, Color.GREEN};
        ColorList = new JComboBox(Colors);
ColorList.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ev) {
                 JComboBox cb = (JComboBox)ev.getSource();
                Color colorType = (Color)cb.getSelectedItem();
                drawingBoard.setBackground(colorType);
          });;1) providing the GUI is correctly implemented with components
2) Combobox stores the colors in an array
3) ActionListener should do following job: (but cant get it right - that is where my problem is)
- once selected the item (color/ font size etc... as i would have similar methods for each) i want, it should pass the item into the drawingboard class (JPanel) and then this class should do the job.
public class DrawingBoard extends JPanel {
       private String message;
       public DrawingBoard() {
              setBackground(Color.white);
              Font font = new Font("Serif", Font.PLAIN, fontSize);
              setFont(font);
              message = "";
       public void setMessage(String m) {
            message = m;
            repaint();
       public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
              super.paintComponent(g);
              //setBackground(Color.RED);
              Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
              g2.setRenderingHint
              g2.drawString(message, 50, 50);
       public void settingFont(String font) {
            //not sure how to implement this?                          //Jcombobox should pass an item to this
                               //it should match against all known fonts in system then set that font to the graphics
      private void settingFontSize(Graphics g, int f) {
                     //same probelm with above..
      public void setBackgroundColor(Color c) {
           setBackground(c);
           repaint(); // still not sure if this done corretly.
      public void setFontColor(Color c) {
                //not sure how to do this part aswell.
               //i know a method " g.setColor(c)" exist but i need to use a graphics object - and to do that i need to pass it in (then it will cause some confusion in the main class (previous code)
       My problems have been highlighted in the comments of code above.
Any help will be much appreciated thanks!!!

It is the completely correct code
I hope that's what you need

How to change fonts in iCal?

How to change fonts in iCal? I can't harly read my calendar-tiny print size. How could I change the font size?

Your question really got me thinking. Actually, I don't think you should feel like an idiot at all. I think it is Apples failure that they made this difficult. Seriously, who would ever think to press Command and arrow to switch months? The little arrows next to the word Today are so small and inconspicuous that I remember having this very same question when I started using iCal too.
So, here is what I did to make it easier for my wife that uses iCal too.
Open System Preferences, Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts Tab, and finally Application Shortcuts.
Click on the Plus symbol under the right hand pane.
Select iCal from the Application list
Add two shortcuts: One named Next and the other named Previous and press your desired Keyboard Shortcut.
I assigned the left arrow and right arrow for these tasks.
Now it makes more sence for someone that is not used to Apples idotic way of doing things. ;-)
I use keyboard shortcuts all over the place. Actually, sometimes it gets me into trouble when I use someone elses computer and my shortcuts don't work. I blame their computer for it and forget it was my "tuning".

How to change font size on screen

how to change font size on screen

I'm not certain what font sizes you wish to change, when on a page you can use command and the += button to zoom in and make the fonts larger. On the finder desktop you can make what ever is on the desktop larger or smaller from the finder menu click view, custom view options, and adjust the icon size with the slider on the top, and the text using the text size box to select the size that your comfortable with.
Forgot to add these.

How to change font size, maximum column size in the result screen ?

hi All
That's great when using SQL Dev.
But I also have a trouble that how to change font size, maximum column size in the result screen ?
My users think that font in result screen is shown very small, and whenever the data in each colum is long then it's not shown full data in column, they must double click for extend the size. Have the option to default the max size for showing full data in each column ? I try but still not to do that .
Appreciate for anyone to help us.
Thanks all.
Sigmasvn

You can't change the font for the results screen yet, however you will be able to select an auto-fit option for selected columns, so if some columns have slitghtly wider text you'll be able to set the column widths to handle these wider columns.
Also, there s the option of switching the layout of a record in the grid.
