Different fonts in a Form

**sypress** · 03-12-2010 10:28 AM

I'm working with a form and I want to use different fonts. This is my code:

Code:

private Font font1, font2;

font1 = Font.getFont(Font.FACE_SYSTEM, Font.STYLE_BOLD, Font.SIZE_LARGE);
font2 = Font.getFont(Font.FACE_SYSTEM, Font.STYLE_PLAIN, Font.SIZE_MEDIUM);

try{
            
            append("Title"+'\n'+"something", Image.createImage ("/pic.PNG"));
            setFont(0, font1);

           }catch(IOException e){
            }

I want "Title" to be font1 and "something" to be font2. Can it be done?

Have you considered using Canvas instead for different fonts?

Hi, by form, do you mean a Frame, like a JFrame or something? If its a Frame or a Panel or some AWT or Swing class, then you could make two different Label objects, and align them one on top of the other. Then you could setFont() them to different forms. Also, most of the swing components accept HTML also. So, instead of JLabel.setText("Heading\ntext");, you could give in JLabel.setText("<html><h2>Heading</h2><p>text</p></html>"); Only thing is it has to start with <html>
