Changing a JLabel's font

Anybody know how to change a JLabel's font? ( I would prefer not having to overide paintComponent)

Try using the setFont method:
JLabel label = new JLabel("Some Text");
label.setFont(new Font("dialog", Font.PLAIN, 12));
The Font constructor takes a font name, font style, and size.

Text deleting when I try to change color or actual font

I will try to explain. So say I have a photo (or blank canvas) and I have typed words on it. If later I go and double click the word (or layer, etc) so that I can change the color of the word(s) &/or change the actual font, it will just automatically delete the whole word(s) on that layer.... which means I have to go change the color &/or font again BEFORE typing anything, and then re-type it all. So I guess in other words... I guess the text is deleting when I try to change the color or actual font (after it's already typed). Sorry if that's confusing.
(I have a Mac, and I am using the Photoshop that comes with the Creative Cloud subscription).

Something is wrong here, the text should not delete when changing font, color or whatever.
But try this. First off you don't need to double click to change the text atributes.
Just make sure you are on the correct text layer, have commited the text but keep the text tool the active tool. Now in the options bar you can change any or all attributes (color, size, font etc). The text updates real time.
You only need to select word(s) if you want that word to be in another color/font/whatever than the other words of that same text layer.
If you want to change the attributes of more than one text layer in one go then you must select those layers before changing attributes in the options bar.

Changing the size of fonts in InDesign's menus and toolbars?

Is it possible to change the size of fonts in InDesign's menus and toolbars? I'd love for the Control Panel at the top to be a bit easier to read.

Thanks Bob, didn't see it anywhere but figured it was worth asking. I think the size is a little biased toward people with better vision than me but I guess I'll have to live with that.

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look. But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.

While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

Thanks for answering. The version is XI.0.10. I just did the update yesterday hoping that I could now properly edit a scanned pdf document. Yes, it's happening on most all scanned documents. I followed your steps & found the list of fonts used in the document & then attempted to edit. The same occurs. When I type in a correction, I get an error alert... "the original font (in this case Fd 5805) is not available or can't be used in editing. Acrobat is using the font Minion Pro in its place."
When I select the text & right click as you suggested, my only choices are cut, copy, delete or select all, no "edit text".
I have no other options to choose another font. Thanks for any help you can direct my way.

How to change the background and font color of a particular row in table

Hi,
   i need to change the background and font color of a particular row. I am using textview as table columns. I tried to do it using semanticColor property of textview but the font color get changed for the whole column. But i want to change the color of a particular row only.
   If anybody knows please help me(give an example if possible).
       Thanks and regards.
        Pankaj Kumar.

Hi Pankaj,
In your data source context node (context node which is bound to dataSource property of Table UI elemennt) do following:
If data source node is model node: create a value node under data source node, cardinality 1..1, selection 1..1, singleton false. In this new node add value attribute and set property readOnly=true, calculated=true, property com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions.TextViewSemanticColor .
If datasource node is value add value attribute and set property readOnly=true, calculated=true, property com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions.TextViewSemanticColor.
In calculated getter method put your color calculation depending on conditions, like:
return <condition>
? WDTextViewSemanticColor.CRITICAL
: WDTextViewSemanticColor.STANDARD;
Bind new created attribute with property semanticColor of textview.
Best regards, Maksim Rashchynski.

Can I change different background and font color on each records?

Hi,
I had a Data_Block which contains some records, I had a field name 'currency' which contains value such as (HKD, JPY, CNY, CND, USD etc..)
Let there there are 5 Records contain in that Data_Block and I wanted to change the background and font color depend on the Currency value.
I were using Set_Item_Property and change the Visual_Attributes that I had define. Well I guess that doesn't work since uisng the Set_Item_Property
it will actually getting the last value and use that last value and changed to all the same color to that.
I wonder is there a way to do that in Oracle you can change the field different color?
Thanks
David Willis

Thanks You so much.
Actually I were trying to look for that function at the User Manual but I couldn't find it because I remembered I had seem it some where.
I guess I am looking at the Form4.5 user manual instead of the Oracle 9i Forms Developer.
Thanks

Why can I change the callout text font in some documents and not others?

By experimenting I have determined that some documents that will allow me to add callouts also let me change the text font to a different font or font size. Other documents that will let me add callouts will not allow me to change the text font. A specific example is that I can add callouts and change the callout's font in pdf's I create by printing from Word, but a datasheet I have from a manufacturer I use will allow me to add callouts but not change the callout font. Why can't I change the font in callouts I add to the datasheet? I am using Acrobat 9.5.2. Thanks for the help.

Thanks Bob, I didn't think of that, I suppose that would work. Basically I would just like to have more text sizes to choose from in the drop down menu, I guess its more an issue of laziness on my part than anything else. I could make a character style for it, but then I'd probably have 10 different character styles just to change the size of my text when it would be less hassle just to type in the size I need. I was just looking for a quick fix default option that I was used to having at my old job.

Change size of all fonts in one fell swoop

I don't care to do a Word-Pages contest but there is one feature of Word that I would like to use in Pages but I don't know how. Suppose I type a document using five or six different fonts. Then I want to change the size of all the text in the document to 16 points. I select all the text and then if I click on the font size icon in the menu it doesn't show 16. I click to open Font Panel but when I type 16 in the size space, it doesn't change any of the fonts. What is the secret to changing the size of all the text to 16 point in one fell swoop?

Hello
Don't worry. Other responses wheren't baffling. The posters are end users like you and they tell the truth.
Select all
If characters of several sizes are selected, the size rectangle in the tool bar is empty.
Don't worry, click on it.
You will get a menu which doesn't display 16 but display "Font Panel…"
Select this item to get the standard Font Panel in which you will be able to enter the wished size in the rectangle just below the word "Size" (right top).
Of course, some of us, accustomed to the program enter directly the Font Panel.

The change to a different font was not done because the chosen font and the font encodings in the do

Hi,
I created a PDF from a Word document that used Cambria font, and when I select it in Acrobat to try to change the font I get "The change to a different font was not done because the chosen font and the font encodings in the document differ and could not be resolved"
How can I change the font and why is it preventing me from doing so?
Thanks,
Juan

Juan,
No, Acrobat is not a word processor.
More to the point Acrobat lets one "work" PDF and PDF is not a file format designed as a word processing, editing, formating, or page layout file format.
PDF is, essentially, a "final destination" format.
What it is is described in the ISO Standard for PDF (ISO 32000-1).
Be well...

Programmatically change tab page label font size

I thought this subject was easy with LV2009, somehow I cannot find the property for the "tab page label font size", yes, i also looked with the "pages" ref array from the tab ref, also no luck. Could someone point me to the right place? I would really appreciate your help. Thanks.

How to change the incoming email font

Hi,
is there anybody able to tell me how to change the incoming email font?
I have BB bold 9900. I was able to do it with my previous curve, but not with this one.
Thanks

Hi muttley and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
There is no option to change the incoming mail font. You can change the entire system font by going to Options>Display>Screen Display.
Thanks.

In past versions of FireFox there was a view option that allowed a change in size of fonts and objects on the screen temporarily on the fly. This seems to be missing from version 6.

In past versions of FireFox there was a view option that allowed a change in size of fonts and objects on the screen temporarily on the fly. This seems to be missing from version 6. It was very useful and needs to be added to version 6.

You can use "Ctrl +" and "Ctrl -" to zoom pages quickly and "Ctr 0" (zero) to reset the page zoom.
