Setting custom font to each column of a JTable

Question

Hi
Does anyone can provide me a source code of a JTable where each column has a different font? As I saw, I can change font of all columns by calling myTable().getTableHeader().setFont(), but it's not what I want.
regards.

Make Your own cellRenderer by extending the TableCellRenderer class.
getTableCellRendererComponent is the method you need.
public java.awt.Component getTableCellRendererComponent(javax.swing.JTable jTable, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int col) {
if(row==-1){//heading row
jLabel l=new JLabel();
l.setText((String)value);
switch(col){
case(0)//add a case for every column
l.setFont(myFont);
break;
default:
break;
return l;
else{
return super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table,value,isSelected,hasFocus,row,col);
then just set the renderer:
table.getTableHeader().setDefaultRenderer(new myRenderer());
