Is there any easy & simple way to set specify font to all text

Question

Is there any way to set a specific font to all text of Swing controls (JLabel, JButton, etc)? And their font's style (bold, underscore...) and font's size still remain to their customized settings.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

perhaps you're just after deriveFont()
run this, you'll see both fonts the same
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
class Testing
  public void buildGUI()
    JLabel label_1 = new JLabel("Hello");
    JLabel label_2 = new JLabel("World");
    label_1.setFont(new Font("monospaced",Font.BOLD|Font.ITALIC,12));
    label_2.setFont(label_1.getFont());
    //label_1.setFont(label_1.getFont().deriveFont(36f));//<----------
    JFrame f = new JFrame();
    f.getContentPane().add(label_1,BorderLayout.NORTH);
    f.getContentPane().add(label_2,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    f.pack();
    f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    f.setVisible(true);
  public static void main(String[] args)
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
      public void run(){
        new Testing().buildGUI();
}now uncomment the indicated line, recompile/rerun
you'll see the style remains, but the size increased
