Setting font in JTextArea

I am trying to set the font for a JTextField and when I compile I get a "Cannot resolve symbol error: method setFont()"
All my other JTextArea method calls are working, I am only having a problem with setFont().
JTextArea myTextArea = new JTextArea();
myTextArea.setFont(Font.ITALIC);
Thanks in advance!

That's because setFont() accepts a Font not an int.
textArea.setFont(new Font(null, Font.ITALIC, 10));

How to set font in JTextArea

There is a function setFont() in class JTextArea, but it seems i only can set "bold","Italic" and "font size", but i want to set something like "Times new roman" and "Courier New"
who knows how to set?
//

If your Java Runtime isn't configured (for whatever reason) to see the fonts you want, setting the font's name might just set it to the default value. Hence it looks like nothing happened.
To see what fonts are available:String[] fontNames = java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getAvailableFontFamilyNames();
for (int j=0; j<fontNames.length; j++)
System.out.println(fontNames[j]);To set a font:String fontname = "Courier New";
int style = Font.PLAIN;
int size = 12;
Font f = new Font(fontname, style, size);
jtextfield.setFont(f);
NOTE: I haven't tested the above code. But it's the right idea.

hi,
i have created a report using Crystal Report 9 with font Draft 10CPI using Printer EPSON FX-2175 on Windows XP with SP2. after then when i call this report from my .NET Application (developed on VS 2005). the report is not showing as well printing with the already set Font (Draft 10CPI) Kindly do needful for the same.

Is the font Draft 10CPI a printer font? If it is, you are running across a limitation of .NET not Crystal Reports. .NET only supports True type and Open type fonts. Microsoft has a KB about it, but I cannot find it right now.

[Solved] css setting font family, ff3 vs ie7

In my css, I've set 'font-family: sans;' in body { }, and in ff3 on my Arch laptop, it displays correctlly. In ie7 on my wifes vista laptop, it still reverts back to w/e serif font it uses if it can't find one set by the web page. I have no idea why this is happening, and I can't seem to fix it. Can anyone give me a hand?

Agh, well, I looked at thayer's blog to see if that worked in both browsers and it did, so I checked to see how he had his fonts set up.
font-family: Arial, DejaVu Sans, sans-serif;
The closest I got to that was 'font-family: Arial, DejaVu, sans;'

Setting font and color TextItems

This script is failing to set font, and how can I set font color?; I am new to PS Scripting:
     var originalUnit = preferences.rulerUnits
      preferences.rulerUnits = Units.INCHES
     var docRef = app.documents.add( 11, 17, 300, "Test", NewDocumentMode.CMYK)
    MyLayer = docRef.artLayers.add()
     MyLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT
     var myFont = app.fonts.getByName("ArialMT");
     // Set the contents of the text layer.
     var textItemRef = MyLayer.textItem
     textItemRef.font = myFont;
     textItemRef.size = UnitValue(36, 'pt');
     textItemRef.font = '_Aviano-Regular';
     textItemRef.style = "Italic";
     textItemRef.contents = "Sample Text";
     // Restore original ruler unit setting
      app.preferences.rulerUnits = originalUnit
Thanks

The font needs to be the postscript name, this will give you a list of them.
var Dlog =
"dialog{text:'Script Interface',bounds:[100,100,500,270],"+
"FontName:DropDownList{bounds:[30,40,370,60]},"+
"PostScriptName:DropDownList{bounds:[30,100,370,120]},"+
"statictext0:StaticText{bounds:[40,10,200,30] , text:'Font Name'},"+
"statictext1:StaticText{bounds:[40,70,141,87] , text:'Postscript Name'},"+
"button0:Button{bounds:[140,130,240,150] , text:'Ok' }}";
win = new Window(Dlog,"Use the Postscript Name in your script.");
var item;
var item2;
for (var i=0,len=app.fonts.length;i<len;i++) {
item = win.FontName.add ('item', "" + app.fonts[i].name);
item2 = win.PostScriptName.add ('item', "" + app.fonts[i].postScriptName);
win.FontName.selection = win.FontName.items[0] ;
win.PostScriptName.selection = win.PostScriptName.items[0] ;
win.FontName.onChange = function() {
win.PostScriptName.selection = win.PostScriptName.items[parseInt(this.selection)] ;
$.writeln(win.PostScriptName.items[parseInt(this.selection)]);
win.PostScriptName.onChange = function() {
win.FontName.selection = win.FontName.items[parseInt(this.selection)] ;
win.center();
win.show();
Here is your code with colour addded...
     var originalUnit = preferences.rulerUnits
      preferences.rulerUnits = Units.INCHES
      var FillColor = new SolidColor;
    FillColor.rgb.hexValue = 'ff0000';
     var docRef = app.documents.add( 11, 17, 300, "Test", NewDocumentMode.CMYK)
    MyLayer = docRef.artLayers.add()
     MyLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT
     var myFont = "ArialMT";
     // Set the contents of the text layer.
     var textItemRef = MyLayer.textItem
     textItemRef.font = myFont;
     textItemRef.size = UnitValue(36, 'pt');
     textItemRef.font = myFont;
     //textItemRef.style = "Italic";
     textItemRef.fauxItalic = true;
     textItemRef.contents = "Sample Text";
     textItemRef.color = FillColor;
     // Restore original ruler unit setting
      app.preferences.rulerUnits = originalUnit

How do I set font default in aperture?

how do I set font default in aperture?

how do I set font default in aperture?
Do you want to change the size of the fonts or the shape for the fonts in the user interface or in the products (books, webpages)?
Aperture does not allow to change the fonts used in the graphical user interface, neither the size nor the shape. To change the fonts for the products (books, etc.), pick a theme with the fonts you like.

Set font size for ChoiceGroup

Hi,
Is there any way to set font size of the String elements of ChoiceGroup

Hi,
Yes, there is, but only if you're using MIDP2.0.
Check the API documentation of ChoiceGroup and see that there's a setFont(.., ..) method. The given index (int value) identifies the index of the element in the list for which the font will be set. This means that different elements in one choicegroup can have different fonts.
Test it carefully, I've noticed that not all devices show correct behaviour on this. Also note that certain devices ignore certain font settings (for example italics, because a lot of native implementations won't have a font in italics).
Good luck!

Set font on a text

Hi!
I've got some problem with setting font on a text, this is my coed:
var ar_delaney_e:Font = new ar_delaney();
textcount=1;
//Setting a variable to ar_delaney_e
this["font_"+String(textcount)] = "ar_delaney_e";
//Create a textFormat
var textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
//Setting font textformat fon to ar_delaney_e??
textFormat.font = this["font_"+String(textcount)];
//Set textformat to my text
myText.defaultTextFormat = textFormat;
Fon is embedded hav also tried textFormat.font = this["font_"+String(textcount)].fontName; instead of textFormat.font = this["font_"+String(textcount)]; but no one of this will work, how can you fix this?

On stage I got a button with instance name add_text_btn, and a mc called "knapp_bild". So when pressing add_text_btn the function func_add_text_btn creates a movie clip with a text in it and also variables for size, color and font for the text. the two variables size and color works fine.
add_text_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, func_add_text_btn);
function func_add_text_btn(event:MouseEvent):void{
textcount++;
var MovieClip:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
MovieClip.x = 80;
MovieClip.y = 60;
MovieClip.alpha = 1;
MovieClip.name="mc_text"+String(textcount);
//Variables for font, size and color
this["size_"+String(textcount)] = 40;
this["color_"+String(textcount)] = "0x00CC00";
this["font_"+String(textcount)] = "ar_delaney_e";
textFormat.font = this["font_"+String(textcount)].fontName;
textFormat.size = this["size_"+String(textcount)];
textFormat.color = this["color_"+String(textcount)];
var textField:TextField = new TextField()
textField.defaultTextFormat = textFormat;
textField.autoSize="left";
textField.text = 'Text '+String(textcount);
textField.name = "text"+String(textcount); // give them names
textField.background=false;
textField.embedFonts=true;
var mc_name=String("mc_text"+String(textcount));
knapp_bild.addChild(MovieClip);
MovieClip.addChild(textField);
textField.mouseEnabled=false;
MovieClip.width=textField.width;
Later on in the program this["font_"+String(textcount)] will change but it dosen't work in the func_add_text_btn function now so let's just try to fix that first. Hope you can see something that mabe won't work and just ask if you got any qusetion. Thanks for your help!

Set Font globally in JavaFX

How I can set the Font type globally in JavaFX application?
Is there any solution which I can use? in JavaFX 8 the default Font is changed I would like to use the same Font used in JavaFX 2.2.
Ref Set Font globally in JavaFX - Stack Overflow

Add a stylesheet with the rule
.root { -fx-font: 13 "Comic Sans MS"; }
or whatever font size and family you want.
You can also use an inline style on the root node, e.g.,
Parent root = scene.getRoot();
root.setStyle("-fx-font: 13 \"Comic Sans MS\"; ");

How to set font for JOptionPane.showMessageDialog() ?

Hi,
I want to set font for JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(). I have tried with following but it did not worked.
javax.swing.UIManager.put("JOptionPane.font", "Verdana"); Do any one have idea how to do this. Your suggestion would be helpfull to me.
Thank you.

Then you'll have to loop over the components in the JOptionPane and setFont for each JButton. My SwingUtils class (search the net using Darryl SwingUtils, I can't give you a link as it's blocked from my office) can make this easier.
Sample code:import darrylbu.util.SwingUtils;
import java.awt.Font;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.plaf.FontUIResource;
public class OptionPaneFonts {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      UIManager.put("OptionPane.messageFont", new FontUIResource(new Font(
              "Verdana", Font.BOLD, 32)));
      SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
         @Override
         public void run() {
            new OptionPaneFonts().makeUI();
   public void makeUI() {
      JOptionPane pane = new JOptionPane("So it's a date?",
              JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE,
              JOptionPane.YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION,
              UIManager.getIcon("OptionPane.questionIcon"),
              new String[]{"Okey-dokey", "Not on your life!",
                 "Let me think about it"
              }, null);
      for (JButton button : SwingUtils.getDescendantsOfType(JButton.class, pane)) {
         button.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.ITALIC, 18));
      JDialog dialog = new JDialog((JWindow) null);
      dialog.setModal(true);
      dialog.add(pane);
      dialog.pack();
      dialog.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
      dialog.setVisible(true);
}db
