Look at the 'Font' class in the java 1.5.0 API.

it has a constructor like so:

JAVA Code:


Font a = new Font("hello",BOLD,12);

// where:

// "hello" could be the string literal "hello" or a string variable with a value
// of "hello"

// BOLD is one of the many static ints provided by default to that class.

// and 12 is the actual point size of the font.

but be sure to remember that this class is in the java.awt package, so you can only use this a GUI. (i.e. in the public void paintComponent funtion).

Hope this Helps,

Justin Fox

Keep in mind that you can also do:

JAVA Code:


String a = Integer.toString(myint);

Font b = new Font(a,BOLD,12);
