Some applications allow the user to select which font is used for displaying text. To do this, you need to be able to dynamically determine which fonts are available so that the user can select the one that they wish to use. Fortunately, Java provides a simple way of obtaining this information through the Toolkit class. This method will return ajava.awt.Choice instance that is populated with the names of the available fonts:
public java.awt.Choice getFontChoice() { java.awt.Choice choice = new java.awt.Choice(); Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit(); String[] fontnames = tk.getFontList(); for (int i = 0; i < fontnames.length; i++) { choice.addItem(fontnames[i]); } // for (int i = 0; i < fontnames.length; i++) return choice;} // public java.awt.Choice getFontChoice()
