Class Font

public class Font

extends java.lang.Object

Font is the character font used when drawing text on a surface.

Fonts have a name, such as "Helvetica", a style and a point size (usually around 10). It's important to note that many devices have an extremely limited number of fonts. For example, most PalmPilot devices have only two fonts: plain and bold. If the font specified can't be found during drawing, the closest matching font will be used.

Here is an example showing text being drawn in a given font:

 ...
 Font font = new Font("Helvetica", Font.BOLD, 10);
 }

 public void onPaint(Graphics g)
 {
 g.setFont(font);
 g.drawText("Hello", 10, 10);
 ...
 

PS: in palm OS, if font size is greater than 12, it uses the large font set (added by guich@121)
