This class represents a font.

name

protected String name

The logical name of this font.

size

protected int size

The point size of this font.

style

protected int style

The style of the font. This is the sum of the constants PLAIN, BOLD, or ITALIC.

BOLD

public final static int BOLD = 1

The bold style constant. This can be combined with the other style constants for mixed styles.

ITALIC

public final static int ITALIC = 2

The italicized style constant. This can be combined with the other style constants for mixed styles.

PLAIN

public final static int PLAIN = 0

The plain style constant. This can be combined with the other style constants for mixed styles.

public Font(String  name, int  style, int  size)

Creates a new font with the specified name, style, and point size.

Parameters:: name -the font name; style -the constant style used; size -the point size of the font
See Also:: getFontList in class Toolkit (II-§1.41.24).

equals

public boolean equals(Object  obj)

The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a Font object with the same name, same style, and same point size as this Font..

Parameters:: obj -the object to compare with
Returns:: true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.
Overrides:: equals in class Object (I-§1.12.3).

getFamily

public String getFamily()

Returns:: the platform-specific family name of this font.
See Also:: getName (II-§1.17.12).

getFont

public static Font getFont(String  nm)

The first argument is treated as the name of a system property to be obtained as if by the method System.getProperty (I-§1.18.10). The string value of this property is then interpreted as a font as described in the getFont method of two argument (II-§1.17.11).

If the specified property is not found, null is returned.

Parameters:: nm -the property name
Returns:: the Font value of the property.

getFont

public static Font getFont(String  nm, Font  font)

The first argument is treated as the name of a system property to be obtained as if by the method System.getProperty (I-§1.18.10). The string value of this property is then interpreted as a font.

The property value should be one of the following forms:

fontname-style-pointsize
fontname-pointsize
fontname-style
fontname

where style is one of the three strings "bold", "bolditalic" or "italic" and pointsize is a decimal representation of the pointsize.

The default style is PLAIN. The default pointsize is 12.

If the specified property is not found, the font argument is returned instead.

Parameters:: nm -the property name; font -a default font to return if property 'nm' is not defined
Parameters:: nm -the property name; font -a default font to return if the property isn't defined
Returns:: the Font value of the property.

getName

public String getName()

Returns:: the logical name of this font.
See Also:: getFamily (II-§1.17.9).

getSize

public int getSize()

Returns:: the point size of this font.

getStyle

public int getStyle()

Returns:: the style of this font.
See Also:: isPlain (II-§1.17.18)
isBold (II-§1.17.16)
