JavaFX: Working with fonts

‘Font’ class is used to define fonts. There are multiple ways to get a font instance.

 

a.   Get system default font

b.   Using utility methods.

 

Get System default font

public static synchronized Font getDefault()

 

Example

Font font1 =  Font.getDefault();

 

Using utility methods.

Font font(String family, FontWeight weight, FontPosture posture, double size)

 

public static Font font(double size)

public static Font font(String family)

public static Font font(String family, double size)

public static Font font(String family, FontPosture posture, double size)

public static Font font(String family, FontWeight weight, double size)

public static Font font(String family, FontWeight weight, FontPosture posture, double size)

 

Example

Font font2 = Font.font(10);

Font font3 = Font.font("Verdana");

Font font4 = Font.font("Verdana", 10);

Font font5 = Font.font("Verdana", FontPosture.ITALIC, 10);

Font font6 = Font.font("Verdana", FontWeight.BOLD, 10);

Font font7 = Font.font("Verdana", FontWeight.BOLD, FontPosture.ITALIC, 10);

 

Find the below working application.

<?import javafx.scene.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.shape.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.text.*?>

<StackPane xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml" fx:controller="com.sample.app.controller.FontController">
	
	<Text fx:id = "text" text="Learning JavaFX"  fill="lightgreen"
	style="-fx-font-weight: bold; -fx-font-size: 50; -fx-font-family: Verdana;"
	stroke="darkblue" strokeWidth="2" 
	underline="true"/>

</StackPane>

FontController.java

package com.sample.app.controller;

import java.net.URL;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;

import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.fxml.Initializable;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;

public class FontController implements Initializable {

	@FXML
	private Text text;

	@Override
	public void initialize(URL location, ResourceBundle resources) {
		// Write custom logic here

	}

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class FontDemo extends Application {

	public static void main(String args[]) {
		launch(args);

	}

	@Override
	public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {

		Parent root = (Parent) FXMLLoader.load(FontDemo.class.getResource("/fontDemo.fxml"));

		Scene scene = new Scene(root, 600, 300, Color.WHITE);

		primaryStage.setTitle("StackPane Demo");
		primaryStage.setScene(scene);
