Get default system font

How can I get the default windows system font.
I tried many options and searched in the forums. However I could not get the correct ans.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Have you ever seen the Index link on the top of the APIs? Try clicking this, then clicking "G", and then scroll down until you find getFont(). Knock yourself out kiddo. More getFont()'s than you can shake a stick at!

  • Installing Fonts modifies default system fonts

    I installed fonts on my MBP but now when I browse to google in firefox it shows the text of it in a font called gear crank. Also in MS Word on mac it has chosen some other font as the default. I installed the fonts from a package into my user font library.
    So first question is why does mac os x allow the system font to be changed by installing other user fonts?
    Second question how do I set my default system font for all appliations?

    Try running TinkerTool, click on Fonts and then Set to Default. This solved a similar problem for a friend.

  • Default system font

    Hello,
    I have a question about Windows-Default font. I Like to set the font size for Objects with the UI-Manager, but i don't know the windows system font.
    regards
    marco

    Well I don't think you can get the windows fonts from the UIManager. UIManager based on the look and feel does its best to match the fonts on your system. If you try to get the fonts from UIManager, you get what ever fonts are currently in use in your java app. If you really want to query the OS, your option is to use JNI.
    May be if you use AWT, it might give you the system fonts...
    Try doing this..
    UIManager.putValue("Label.font", new java.awt.Label().getFont());

  • Updating to Mountain Lion changed the default system font

    I finally got around to updating my system to 10.8.3 last night. As soon as the installation was complete, I noticed the system default font seems to have changed. I've attached an screencap to show exactly what I mean, I know it's not specific to my current browser because this is shown across Firefox, Safari, Chrome, etc. Any ideas how to remedy?

    Found this in the suggested posts- https://discussions.apple.com/message/21450701#21450701
    Solution: check for duplicate fonts in FontBook, resolve all.

  • How to get default system encoding?

    How can i check what character encoding the underlying OS uses?

    Note that file.encoding is not a standard parameter;
    to get the encoding portably you should construct an
    InputStreamReader or a FileReader and call
    getEncoding().String defaultEncoding = new
    InputStreamReader(
    new ByteArrayInputStream(new
    byte[0])).getEncoding();
    But this would give you the default encoding of java which is always iso8859-1 unless set otherwise. And I would guess it could be different from the OS encoding but I may be wrong here. Need to double check.

  • Get system font size

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me how to get the system font size(the size with which the user views the desktop)?
    I've looked at System.getProperties() but there doesnt seem to be a key for getting the current font or font size.
    I want this so that I can set the fonts in my java app to the same size as the system ones.
    Cheers,
    Jim

    Hi Charles,
    The font size for the current user can be stored in different locations, depending on how your company is configured. There is a global setting which can be found in the General Settings screen. This setting is actually user-specific and is stored in the b1-current-user.xml file which is created in the user's Windows profile (so it's also workstation specific unless you are using roaming profiles). The file is written to when the user clicks on Update in the General Settings screen. The path to this file depends on the operating system that the SBO client is running on.
    For Windows XP and Server 2003 the path will be:
    C:\Documents and Settings\<ProfileName>\Local Settings\Application Data\SAP\SAP Business One
    For Windows 7, Vista and Server 2008 the path will be:
    C:\Users\<ProfileName>\AppData\Local\SAP\SAP Business One
    In SBO you can also define the font using User Defaults (AdministrationSetupGeneral--User Defaults). Unlike the general setting, this is stored in the database:
    select T0.USER_CODE, T1.Font, T1.FontSize from OUSR T0 left outer join OUDG T1 on T0.DfltsGroup = T1.Code
    User Defaults overrides the value in General Settings.
    Kind Regards,

  • System fonts not showing in Font Book

    I am using Font Agent Pro as a font manager and am wondering if there's a conflict with it and Apple's Font Book. I cannot get the system fonts to show up in Font Book and, hence, those (System) fonts don't show in Apple apps, e.g., Safari, Grapher, Text Edit, etc., etc.
    The only way I can get the system fonts to show in apple apps it to drag the System>Library>Fonts folder to the "Collection" column onto the "Computer" collection. This is fine, but it copies the System fonts to the ComputerName>Library>Fonts folder.
    I've tried for hours to get the System fonts to show in Font Book and do it without the System fonts being copied to the Library or User folder, i.e., I want the System fonts to stay in the System fonts folder only.
    If I boot into another partition and bring up Font Book everything works as I would expect, and Font Agent Pro is not installed on that partition...
    Any Ideas?
    TIA,

    Hi PS1,
    I am using Font Agent Pro as a font manager and am wondering if there's a conflict with it and Apple's Font Book.
    Yes, in a sense. If you always open and close your fonts through FAP's interface, then it's no problem leaving Font Book on your Mac. It will simply sit there and take up a small amount of disk space.
    That said, it's still a nuisance having more than one font manager on your computer at a time. Say you disable all of the fonts in Font Book that you can. Assuming the fonts are still in the /Library/Fonts/ folder, you then turn them on and off with FAP. The problem then is which orders are the applications going to believe? Are the fonts active, according to FAP? Or inactive, according to Font Book?
    Also, if you double click on any font to quick activate it, both FAP and Font Book will activate the font. So you will find yourself confused fairly often when you deactivate the font in FAP, but they still keep showing up in your applications as active. That would be because Font Book is still holding it open.
    So if FAP is going to be your main font manager, then copy Font Book off to another disk for safe keeping (so you don't have to use Pacifist or an OS install to get it back on your system if you need, or want to), and then remove it from your hard drive.
    Definitely don't remove the /System/Library/Fonts/ folder! If you remove Lucida Grande from its default location in any way, you will lose control of your desktop. The only way I can think that Taavi managed to accomplish this was moving files around booted to an external drive, or from another Mac via FireWire Target Mode. It's impossible to do on the same drive your booted to. You'll lose control of the desktop every time if you remove Lucida Grande. Although Taavi may have made his/her copy to the /Library/Fonts/ folder. That at least would still leave an active copy of Lucida Grande somewhere, but I highly recommend against that sort of handling of the system fonts.

  • FontExplorer X Pro corrupting system fonts (mainly Helvetica)

    Yosemite, Clean Install
    I recently installed a trial of FontExplorer X Pro because I thought it was about time I moved up to a professional font management tool.  Shortly after installing it, and importing my fonts, things started to go haywire.  As you can see below, Messages.app, websites (GoDaddy.com pictured) and Mail.app display a strange A-in-a-box character in place of what should be actual, legible copy.  I have been trying to work with FontExplorer's tech support but they have been unhelpful so far, not to mention it takes them days to respond.  I believe I've (so far) narrowed this down to HELVETICA and I'm sure it has something to do with Mac OS X now using Helvetica Neue throughout the System in place of what used to be Lucinda I believe
    I'm just at a loss for what to do.  I can't seem to get my system fonts back in order.  I've tried uninstalling the software, and starting over, and nothing has helped.  I can clear the Font Cache, restart, and then everything is fine...but as soon as I open a document with Helvetica Neue in it, everything else goes haywire again.  Deactivating Helvetica Neue is not an option.  I am a graphic designer, I need Helvetica for nearly everything.
    I would appreciate any suggestions at all, thank you.
    Messages.app: The timestamp is replace with these characters.
    Safari/Godaddy.com: All the text in the login area are the same character.
    Again, in Mail.app, this contact's signature is completely unreadable.

    Anyone? No one from Linotype has been able to answer my questions either.
    Like I said, the problem started after I upgraded from 10.6.6 to 10.6.8. The same issue occurs on 2 different computers both running 10.6.8, even though one of them is a fresh install.
    I've tried resetting the FontBook by booting into Safe Mode, but even that doesn't fix it. However I'm now able to add metadata and create sets, but only for system fonts (i.e. anything with a lock icon).

  • How to get the InDesign fonts?

    Hi All,
    I can get the system fonts using app.fonts();, but I want the fonts loaded only in InDesign i.e., fonts copied in the installation folder like D:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS5\Required\fonts or suggest any other method also to get only these fonts.
    Thanks,
    Praveen

    You can use location property of the font to find out fonts located in a certain folder.

  • How do I restore missing system fonts?

    I recently installed a couple font managment tools and ever since I have noticed that I don't have the full list of default system fonts. Below is a screenshot of what I have. I notice that there are a lot of missing fonts that should be there such as Georgia, Trebuchet, Verdana and many more. Is there a way to reinstall them or restore them? I tried the restore Standard Fonts option in Font Book but says no problems encountered. I also downloaded a program called Pacifist but don't know what to do next.

    Oh, boy! You are flirting with danger playing around with fonts. Which font managers have you used? Extensis Suitcase is a good one because you can use different font sets and keep the system fonts separate, but one corrupt font can turn your Mac into a black box.
    It is wise to only install fonts you intend to use and not huge amounts of unnecessary fonts.
    Here is a tutorial on wise font management in OSX. Well worth the read. It is a PDF so you can download it and keep it:

  • Help: Every time I do something in Font Book, default browser fonts get messed up

    Every time I change anything in Font Book (enable, disable fonts for example) all my international default fonts in FireFox and in Safari get so messed up, that it's hard to read sometimes. The default fonts suddenly become substituted by other fonts. I tried completely reinstalling the system fonts folder (fetched it from MAC OSX installation CD) but no result. I tried disabling all the custom fonts, and then enabling again the ones I need - didn't help.
    Every time this happens, I need to  restart my Mac in Safe Mode, and restart again, so that it deletes it's font cache. Then all is Ok, until the next time I do anything in Font book.
    This is really annoying, please help!
    Thanks

    I'd suspect maybe RAM then.
    Boot off your *original* Install Disk while holding down the *d key*, (not c key), then run the extended Apple Hardware Test. Some disks require you to use the Option key at bootup to select AHT.
    The Memory test can really only be trusted if it finds a problem, not if it doesn't find a problem.

  • Email fonts turn huge if I choose any system font except default! OS6

    I'm running OS6 on an AT&T Torch 9800 - I understand this is not a new problem but I wonder if anyone has run across some kind ot tweak to help.  If I attempt to choose a different system font, everything looks ok except the fonts in the emails triple (or more) in size.  Even if I shrink the system font to teeny, the emails stay huge.  The only way to get my emails back to looking normal and fitting on my screen is to go to the font selection function and choose "Restore Default".  If I keep the default font and just increase the size one or two notches, I'm fine, but the minute the font is different, the emails are so huge they are illegible.
    I know this is not a horrible thing but it'd be fun to look at a different font for awhile and it's impossible given this little "feature".  Anyone find a solution?  I would love to email RIM about this but sadly they seem not to want to hear from us...
