FontListener fl = new FontListener();
this.add(sampleText, BorderLayout.NORTH);
GraphicsEnvironment g = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
fonts = g.getAvailableFontFamilyNames();
JPanel controlPanel = new JPanel();
fontComboBox = new JComboBox(fonts);
fontComboBox.addActionListener(fl);
controlPanel.add(new JLabel("Family: "));
controlPanel.add(fontComboBox);
Integer[] sizes = { 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 18, 20, 22, 24, 36 };
sizeComboBox = new JComboBox(sizes);
sizeComboBox.setSelectedIndex(5);
sizeComboBox.addActionListener(fl);
controlPanel.add(new JLabel("Size: "));
controlPanel.add(sizeComboBox);
boldCheck = new JCheckBox("Bold");
boldCheck.addActionListener(fl);
controlPanel.add(boldCheck);
italCheck = new JCheckBox("Ital");
italCheck.addActionListener(fl);
controlPanel.add(italCheck);
this.add(controlPanel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
fl.updateText();
this.setVisible(true);
}
private class FontListener implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
updateText();
}
public void updateText() {
String name = (String) fontComboBox.getSelectedItem();
Integer size = (Integer) sizeComboBox.getSelectedItem();
int style;
if (boldCheck.isSelected() && italCheck.isSelected())
style = Font.BOLD | Font.ITALIC;
else if (boldCheck.isSelected())
style = Font.BOLD;
else if (italCheck.isSelected())
style = Font.ITALIC;
else
style = Font.PLAIN;
Font f = new Font(name, style, size.intValue());
sampleText.setFont(f);
}
