Hi, you want to change font color. Then you can try setFont() method I think. I have learned java one year back and need to revise it. But, If I am not wrong then this is a method which is used for the changing font color. Just try to use it. Currently I am in the office and when I will go to the home I will confirm it whether it is right or wrong. Just check on google regarding it. You will find out it on it. Just check it.

Hi, for setting font in java setFont() method has been used. You can provide it font object as its operand and try it. For more information you can check it in Java 2 Complete Reference and get more information related to it. You can get more help from java official site such as sun.com. I think you just need to change font of the text, then just use that method and solve your problem.

Hi, I am giving you example for changing font of the string. Just use it. In this example setFont() method has been used to set font of the string to which you want. Just understand it and then use it as you want.

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
//<applet code="Appf1.class" width=200 height=200></applet>
public class SetFontWhichWant extends Applet
{
Font Mono;
public void init()
{
setBackground(Color.red);
Mono=new Font("Monotype Corsiva",Font.PLAIN,30);
}
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
g.setFont(Mono);
g.setColor(Color.black);
g.drawString("My Font Which I want",10,20);
}
}
