Java Applet program that shows all available fonts using awt and applet package
This Applet program extracts all available fonts and prints them in a new window. It uses two packages named applet and awt, can be imported using the following code snippet.
import java.applet.*; import java.awt.*;
A java class to be created extending Applet class and we need to override only paint method so a public void method named, paint(Graphics g), to be created.
public class allAvailableFontFamily extends Applet{
public void paint(Graphics g){
}
}setting local Graphics environment inside the paint method
GraphicsEnvironment env; env=GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
all font-family names to be extracted and stored in a string array
String allfonts[]; allfonts=env.getAvailableFontFamilyNames();
After extracting them, we might iterate and set font one by one and print their names in their own style.
//printing extracted data
int i,x=20,y=20;
for(i=0;i<allfonts.length;i++){
//creating Font instance with one of the extracted font family name
Font f=new Font(allfonts[i],Font.BOLD,20);
//setting the font
g.setFont(f);
//printing the font name in its style on output window
g.drawString(allfonts[i],x,y);
y+=20;
//channging column
if(i%41==40){
x+=300;
y=20;
}
}So, As a whole the program is
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class allAvailableFontFamily extends Applet{
//overriding paint method
public void paint(Graphics g){
//creating GraphicsEnvironment instance
GraphicsEnvironment env;
env=GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
String allfonts[];
//extracting all availble font family names
allfonts=env.getAvailableFontFamilyNames();
//printing extracted data
int i,x=20,y=20;
for(i=0;i<allfonts.length;i++){
//creating Font instance with one of the extracted font family name
Font f=new Font(allfonts[i],Font.BOLD,20);
//setting the font
g.setFont(f);
//printing the font name in its style on output window
g.drawString(allfonts[i],x,y);
y+=20;
//channging column
if(i%41==40){
x+=300;
y=20;
}
}
}
}<html> <body> <applet code="allAvailableFontFamily.class" width="640" height="480"> </applet> </body> </html>
Instruction to Run: if you have applet viewer in your installed java version then simply run the following command.
appletviewer html_filename.html
output: opens in a new window
