How do I globally set the font of a java program

I would like to define a default font for all the labels, button, and text on a JFrame. I used the following lines:
static Font defaultFont = new Font("dialog", Font.PLAIN, 12);
contentPane = frame.getContentPane();
contentPane.setFont(defaultFont);
contentPane.add(xxxxx);
contentPane.add(yyyyy);
You would expect all the components added in the contentPane would use the font I specified, but they are not. I need to go into each pane, and set each label/buttons font in order for it wok. Can someone tell me why this is not working? and maybe a better way?

You can change the properties for the entire application by using the UIManger class:
UIManager.put("Button.font", defaultFont );
UIManager.put("Label.font", defaultFont );
This should be done before the JFrame is initially shown.
For a list of the all the properties that can be set, check out this program I wrote. All the properties for a given component are shown on a separate tab in a tabbed pane.

How do I globally change the font across all pages in a multi-page PDF document

I have a 500 page document. I suceeded in changing only the font on the first page using Acrobat Pro and selecting "Edit Text and Images", selecting "All" on the first page and changing the font. It worked perfectly. Now I want to apply that font change to the remaining 499 pages. Any ideas?

Sorry Bill, not how it works. You can select text across a page boundary using the normal multi-select tool for copying, but you cannot edit across a page boundary. If you try to activate the ETI tool from the Content Editing panel or use the context menu "Edit Text" item, Acrobat will trim the selection to the current page only.
The previous two responses are correct - you must either repeat the edit by hand on every page, or go back to the original document and make the changes there (which is the expected workflow for such a drastic alteration).

Formatting issues: when I open a msg, the font is sooo small you need a magnifier to read it. How can I set the font size to one I can easily read?

== Issue
==
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
== Description
==
I have various formatting issues:
a. When I open a msg from my web browser (Cablevision), the font is sooo small I need a magnifier to read it. How can I set the font to a size I can easily read?
b. When I forward msgs, the text gets all distorted and I need to clean it up (some symbols, lots of spaces between words). How can this be fixed?
c. When I want to tell someone about a website, I cannot type the URL in so that all they have to do is click on it. How can this be fixed?
d. When I open messages, the text opens in a small window and covers the "Show Images" button. Why?
== This happened

The text editor is the text area that you use on the webmail (Yahoo, Hotmail) website to create a new mail.
You can compare that with the ''Post new message'' text area that you use to create a new post on this forum.
Just above the text area that you use to enter the message text there is usually a button bar with buttons that allows some text formatting like Bold and Italic and can also include a button to make a clickable hyperlink.
Check the tooltip of each button by hovering with the mouse over each button.

1.5 How to globally set the System Cache location

FROM ANOTHER USER ON ANOTHER BOARD:
This one did not get answered completely.
************************* Question:
Hello,
I want to deploy JWS on a client PC with Microsoft XP OS. This client have multiple users. JWS put a file deployment.properties in the directory "documents and setting" for the current user.
How can I create a uniquely file deployment.properties for all users of this client (new and existing profiles) ?
Create a directory "documents and setting/all users/application data/sun/java/deployment/" with the file deployment.properties don't work.
Create a directory "documents and setting/default user/application data/sun/java/deployment/" with the file deployment.properties is working but is not good for the existing users. This is good uniquely for new users.
is there a solution ?
King regards,
funchung
************************* ANSWER:
For windows, the system config file is at:
{Windows Directory}\Sun\Java\Deployment\
The value of the {Windows Directory} is determined by using the Win32 API GetWindowsDirectory.
So for example, on XP, the system config file is:
c:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
The settings in this system config file will be used by all users on the system.
***************************** HIS REPLY
I've tried this and it doesn't seem to work.
I've also tried createing a deployment.config file as per the http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/properties.html article and this doesn't work for me.
Has anyone done this successfully??
******************************** MY REPLY:
This is true.
I can get the system install to work if I add the parameter:
deployment.system.cachedir=C\:\\testcache
to the deployment.properties file found under:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment
but it will NOT work by adding it to the:
C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment
directory. It just creates a new default one in the user's folder.
What am I doing wrong?
If there is not a way to globally set the System Cache location, then this isn't much better than the user cache for being able to "install" the software once on the PC and let any user that signs in access that application.
We had high hopes for this, since this functionality was taken away from us once the java cache started being stored in the user's folders.
More details:
I just tried setting the mandatory=true setting and it tells me that it is not allowed to start because it can't find the
deployment.properties in the same folder (full path is displayed) but I know it is there, because it is the same folder. I even double checked the spelling.
Maybe there is a bug in the way it finds that properties file, or maybe I need to include something in that file that I didn't find in documentation?
All it has in it is the one line:
deployment.system.cachedir=C\:\\testcache
Can anybody help shed light on this?
It seems to be a bug that it can't find the deployment.properties file in the 'system' folder.

I now found more on another thread:

How do you set the font color for a specific entire row inside a JTable?

How do you set the font color for a specific entire row inside a JTable?
I want to change the font color for only a couple of rows inside a JTable.
I've seen some ways to possibly do this with an individual cell.
Clarification on changing the font color in an individual cell would be helpful too if
there is no easy way to do this for a row.

hai,
Try out with this piece of code.Create your table and assign the renderer to each column in the table.
CellColorRenderer m_CellColorRenderer = new CellColorRenderer();
for(int i=0;i<your_JTable.getColumnCount();i++)
your_JTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(i).setCellRenderer(m_CellColorRenderer);
class CellColorRenderer extends JLabel implements TableCellRenderer
CellColorRenderer()
setOpaque(true);
setHorizontalAlignment(LEFT);
setVerticalAlignment(CENTER);
setBackground(Color.white);
setForeground(Color.black);
protected void setValue(Object value)
     setText((value == null) ? "" : value.toString());
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,Object value,boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row,int column)
     if(isSelected == true)
          setForeground(Color.red);
     else
          setForeground(Color.black);
     setValue(value);
     return this;

How to set the font of a table header?

Hi,
Is there a way to set the font of a table header? I do not mean how to change the header word but the font.
Thanks
Stephen

Hi,
for combobox in a table (I assume the combobox is shown un column 2, thus the index 1)
oracle.jbo.uicli.jui.JUTableLOVEditor lovCellEditor = (oracle.jbo.uicli.jui.JUTableLOVEditor) jTable1.getColumnModel().getColumn(1).getCellEditor();
lovCellEditor.getComponent().setFont(new Font("Arial",Font.BOLD,13));
For the LOV panel this is a bit more complicated because you need to create a custom LOV panel as described in http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/10g/jclientlov/customadfjclientlovpanel.html
I filed a bug today to expose the component on a LOV to public so they can be modified

How can I set the font size of a form field in the fdf file?

I need to dynamically set the font size of a field to accommodate text of varying length, automatic font size won't work in this case. It seems like this can be done in the FDF but I have tried several variants without success. Could someone help out with a real example of what the syntax in the fdf should look like.
I am using Acrobat Professional 8.1 but the created fdf will need to work with Reader also.

I think that the font size has to be set in the form itself, not the FDF.

How do I set the font in firefox 4.0 using ubuntu?

The zoom feature is OK but I want to permanently set the font size on my firefox pages using the Ubuntu operating system. I don't see anything under Tools and there doesn't seem to be a lot of questions previously asked in the Help area about Firefox in Ubuntu.

It's difficult to set a single font size without wrecking the display of most web sites. One alternative would be to store your preferred zoom level and apply that to all sites. This requires an add-on such as:
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6965/ Default FullZoom Level]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]
Does that work for you?

How to set the font size in JOptionPane?

I use a JOptionPane.showOptionDialog in a JClient form.
Can I set the font size of the message in my JOptionPane?
And also, can I set the location for each component in JOptionPane?

The best way to do that is to create a seperate panel with its components in it (a JLabel with a specific font setting) and display that panel as the JOptionPane's message.
As for the OK/Cancel/etc buttons, I don't think you'll be able to rearange them, without hacking into the JOptionPane class' source.

Setting the font

I am trying to figure out how to set the font and this is what I have come up with up so far:
AIFontKey fontKey;
error = sAIFont->FindFont( "Arial", kAIAnyFontTechnology, kRomanAIScript, true, &fontKey );
if (error) throw (error);
FontRef fontRef;
error = sAIFont->FontFromFontKey( fontKey, &fontRef );
if (error) throw (error);
IFont iFont( fontRef);
features.SetFont( iFont);
I am not sure if I am doing this correct. I took most of this code form another post, but was not sure how to implement the code.
I am trying to set the font and am using the below code to set the font size and the position of the text:
ATE::IParaFeatures justif;
ATE::ICharFeatures features;
justif.SetLeadingType(ATE::kRomanLeadingType);
justif.SetStartIndent(kAIRealZero);
justif.SetFirstLineIndent(kAIRealZero);
features.SetTracking(kAIRealZero);
//Justification.
justif.SetJustification(kCenterJustify);
//Size
features.SetFontSize(10);
AIArtHandle artGroup = NULL;
error = sAIArt->GetFirstArtOfLayer(NULL, &artGroup);
aisdk::check_ai_error(error);
// Add the new point text item to the layer.
AITextOrientation orient = kHorizontalTextOrientation;
AIRealPoint anchor = {this->fEndPoint.h,this->fEndPoint.v-4};
AIArtHandle textFrame = NULL;
error = sAITextFrame->NewPointText(kPlaceAboveAll, artGroup, orient, anchor, &textFrame);
aisdk::check_ai_error(error);
// Set the contents of the text range.
TextRangeRef range = NULL;
error = sAITextFrame->GetATETextRange(textFrame, &range);
aisdk::check_ai_error(error);
ITextRange crange(range);
crange.SetLocalCharFeatures(features);
crange.SetLocalParaFeatures(justif);
crange.InsertAfter("X");
Any help would help thanks daniel

Okay, here is what I decided to do...it is lame, but it works. Thanks for the help. : )
char buf[250], fonttext[500];
short forfont;
long fontCount = 0;
int font_value;
error = sAIFont->CountFonts(&fontCount);
//char buffer[sizeof(long)*8+1];
//MessageBox(NULL, ltoa(fontCount, buffer, 10), "Font Num", 0);
aisdk::check_ai_error(error);
for (int i = 0; i < fontCount; i++)
// Report each font name to the log.
AIFontKey fontKey = NULL;
error = sAIFont->IndexFontList(i, &fontKey);
aisdk::check_ai_error(error);
error = sAIFont->GetUserFontName(fontKey,fonttext,forfont);
if(strcmp(fonttext, "Arial Bold") == 0)
font_value = i;
break;
else
font_value = -1;
aisdk::check_ai_error(error);
FontRef fontRef;
AIFontKey fontKey = NULL;
//For instance, 10 is a number of the font in the font list.
error = sAIFont -> IndexFontList(font_value, &fontKey );
error = sAIFont -> FontFromFontKey ( fontKey, &fontRef );
ATE::IFont iFont( fontRef );
features.SetFont( iFont );
