TTFontDemopublic class TTFontDemo extends JLabel | Demo of making TrueType font usable in Java. This is a way cool facility
because it means you can have "application-specific" fonts in Java;
your application can have its own distinctive font that the user does
NOT have to install into the JRE before you can use it.
(of course they can install it if they have privileges and want to).
Must remain Swing-based despite problems on older systems, since
apparently only Swing components can use TTF fonts in this implementation.
Does NOT work in Applet (requires JApplet) nor in JApplet due to
security problems (requires to create a temp file). Could be made
to work by providing a policy file. |
| Constructors Summary |

public TTFontDemo(String fontFileName, String text)Construct a TTFontDemo -- Create a Font from TTF.
super(text, JLabel.CENTER);
setBackground(Color.white);
// First, see if we can load the font file.
InputStream is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(fontFileName);
if (is == null) {
throw new IOException("Cannot open " + fontFileName);
}
// createFont makes a 1-point font, bit hard to read :-)
Font ttfBase = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, is);
// So scale it to 24 pt.
Font ttfReal = ttfBase.deriveFont(Font.PLAIN, 24);
setFont(ttfReal);
