What defines the default font?

What defines the default font used in an applet besides the font.properties file? I'm running an applet on two NT systems with identical font.properties files but the applets use two different fonts. Is there an OS setting in NT that would override the default in Java?

To my best of knowledge, it's completely contained in the font.properties file. At least for jdk118. You can always create and define other fonts in your font.properties file even going to the extent of removing the ones you don't like probably but I haven't done that. I have added new fonts to the font.properties file and then set what ever component you are using to this new font. So to create a new font to use on a button and add the button to a panel.
p1 = new JPanel();
Font bf = new Font("comic",Font.BOLD,16);
JButton bj = new JButton(label);
bj.setFont(bf);
bj.addActionListener(this);
p1.add(bj);
Note that in my font.properties file I added the following line:
comic.0=Comic Sans MS, ANSI_CHARSET
joberoni

HT5072 What is the default font for I-books author. I believe it is Helvetica 14. thanks/marv

What is the default font for I-books author, the one brest to choose so that book is readable om an i-pad. Is it Helvetica 14? How about the paragraph pf text that introduces each chapter (it is a larger font, I believe) Thanks.

It depends on the template and the part of the text. Just click your mouse on the text and you should see the font name in the format bar at the top.

What are the default font settings for 7.0.1 I have messed with them a bit and now my text is blotchy. I want to start clean.

I tried to adjust font settings to a font that I prefer and a size I can read. It was all kind of messed up so I searched what the default settings should be to start at ground zero again which I found but now it is worse. The main issue is that text is blotchy, dark some places, light another. Monitor is new so it's not issue. What exactly are the Default settings for 7.0.1 I'm not sure mine are correct ??? What other things can I look at if the default doesn't improve everything? I have Windows 7 and turning clear text on or help has no effect. PLEASE HELP ???

You can see the defaults in a screenshot in this KB article:
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Some+text+shows+up+bold+after+upgrade
You can check the font setting in: Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
Default Font: Times New Roman (16)
Fonts for : Western
Proportional: Serif (16)
Serif : Times New Roman
Sans-serif : Arial
Monospace : Courier New (13)
[X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
Are there any problems reported in the Graphics section at the bottom of the Help > Troubleshooting Information page?
If you have an ATI graphics display try to disable "Morphological Filtering" in the Catalyst display driver:
* Catalyst Control Center > 3D Settings > Disable Morphological Filtering
Try to disable hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

What is the default font?

And by default I mean this one on the board pictured here. I want to use that font on Firefox and Windows in general, but I can't seem to find. I thought maybe it's just a difference in the way the two browsers handle text rendering, but I don't know...

Thanks!

The only two fonts used in the page are Arial and Helvetica.. and yes the fonts do get rendered differently in Safari. They are a little thicker, but not bold.
Information comes from the sites CSS styles and code.

What is the default theme font for ea & cs?

Hi all;
This was not answered before. Is this specified now?
If the theme.xml file is as follows (which Word usually does):
<a:minorFont>
<a:latin typeface="Calibri"/>
<a:ea typeface=""/>
<a:cs typeface=""/>
What font is used for:
<w:rFonts w:asciiTheme="minorBidi" w:hAnsiTheme="minorBidi"/>
I'm seeing Arial for a test case and I have no idea where that's coming from.
??? - thanks - dave

Made the world's coolest reporting & docgen system even more amazing

Hello Dave,
I couldn't download your test case (404), but I made a similar one.
theme1.xml:
      <a:minorFont>
        <a:latin typeface="Calibri" panose="020F0502020204030204"/>
       <a:ea typeface=""/>
        <a:cs typeface=""/>
      </a:minorFont>
document.xml:
     <w:r>
        <w:rPr>
            <w:rFonts w:asciiTheme="minorBidi" w:hAnsiTheme="minorBidi" />
        </w:rPr>
        <w:t>test</w:t>
      </w:r>
This resulted in Times New Roman when I opened the document, which is in line with what I see in [MS-OI29500] §2.1.87/c:
[begin quote:
c. The standard states that the default fonts for the ascii, hAnsi, cs, and eastAsia attributes are application-defined.
Word uses a default font of Times New Roman for all of these attributes. --end quote]
I'm not sure why you're seeing Arial in your document. If you get that to me with a different link or via dochelp email, I'll be glad to investigate it further. EDIT: I was able to correct the link. I'll see if I can determine what's going on with the font
selection for this document.
Best regards,

Does anyone know what the default font is for MacMail?

Does anyone know what the default font is for the Mail program? My son changed my mail font and I want to change it back, but I can't remember what the original default is! Anyone? Thanks!

I rarely use Mail (normally use Gmail in Safari) so I am 99.99% sure mine is still at the default. It is Helvetica 12.

Oh! Then what I want to do is change the default font on my email, documents etc. how do I do that.

What's the default console font?

And what size/weight is it? I used to think this font was ugly and unfriendly, but I've grown more attached to it over time. I would also like to use this same font in X, as my urxvt/xterm default font. Is this possible?

I tried various combinations of Fixed, and I think that's the font, but the closest I got was size 15 bold. The problem is it's still too wide and some of the glyphs are off. I remember reading about the default font in Windows Powershell and most Linux Consoles on Wikipedia, but I can't remember what it said
If only I knew! There might even be a truetype version floating around the net.

Need help on defining a default font in a JTextPane

Hi, I'm currently programming a HTML Editor and I'm stuck with a problem I don't know how to solve:
I have defined a default logical style for my JTextPane.
I decided to set the font to "Arial". So here is how it goes:
import javax.swing.text.StyleContext;
import javax.swing.text.Style;
Style styDefault = StyleContext.getDefaultStyleContext().getStyle(StyleContext.DEFAULT_STYLE);
StyleConstants.setFontFamily(styDefault,"Arial");
//tpEditor is a JTextPane
tpEditor.setLogicalStyle(styDefault);
I have also bound a CaretListener to my JTextPane so that
it get and output display showing the font family of the character over which the caret is positionned.
Alright, here is how all this behaves :
When I run my HTMLEditor (a JFrame) and I click on the JTextPane, I get this
in the output : "Arial" . This is correct, that's what I expect the output to display, the problem is that when I start typing text,
even though the caret listener keeps sending to the output "Arial" for every key that I press, the displayed
text is not Arial text, instead,it is this default font called "dialog". This is the code that I use to display the font over which the caret is positionned :
//Code inside a CaretListener extended class
System.out.println(StyleConstants.getFontFamily(tpEditor.getCharacterAttributes()));
Another strange behaviour is the following :
If I select, let's say "Verdana" from my JComboBox, any further typed text or an already selected
portion of text has its font set to Verdana. Displayed text and font name sent to the output by the caret
listener really match this time ( I set the font using Actions that are bounded to buttons I added to my JComboBox)
If I erase text, typing on the backspace key, and I get to the beginning of the line (the
border of the JTextPane), the font (which was set to Arial) is set back to this default font called "dialog"
that I don't know how to get rid off.
Does any one have any clue about this issue ? Is there a sort of background font that can't be changed ? It
seems awkward to me to have to manage an event for when I get to the beginning of the line. There has to be
a way of getting control over the default font (or style) of my JTextPane and it's associated document (which
happens to be a HTMLDocument for me).
Any help would be really appreciated,
thanxs,
Diego TERCERO
