Learning Java [Fonts]

Font Support

Select the font you want to display, press the GO button and you'll see the font quiver infront of your eyes.

A post mortem

So this applet shows the variety of fonts available in Java.

Again there is room for improvement. For example, it would be better for the font to change after selecting from the lists.

Like the DrawSelector applet, this too delegates the drawing work to a custom component. As animation is involved threads are used by that component.

The bits of code that are of interest are:

FontSelector
This contains the interface you see above
FontWobbler
The component that does the font drawing
ThreadedCanvas
Takes care of the multithreading needed to animate the compoanent
