Answer 1

if i have to write code for this...please help me how
can i apply this font to whole my application?As I said, you can set a default value in UIManager. For example
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Fred200 extends JPanel
    private static final String jaString = "\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e\u6587\u5b57\u5217";
    static
        UIManager.put("Label.font", new Font("AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni",Font.PLAIN, 40));
    public Fred200()
        super(new BorderLayout());
        JLabel one = new JLabel(jaString);
        //one.setFont(new Font("AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni",Font.PLAIN, 40));
        JLabel two = new JLabel(jaString);
        //two.setFont(new Font("AR PL Zenkai Uni",Font.PLAIN, 40));
        add(one, BorderLayout.NORTH);
        add(two, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    public static void main(String[] args)
        JFrame frame = new JFrame(jaString);
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setContentPane(new Fred200());
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
}Any good swing book will list the resource names.
