Font Style!

[arifzaman]

Hi all,

I've already changed my default FONT by using "net.rim.device.api.ui.Font" and "net.rim.device.api.ui.FontFamily" classes for my application.

Now, my intension is to retrieve new FONT that should be as like as my default settings which I made before in my application, but only differerece would be in FontStyle as ITALIC. I know this can be done by going with the following code:

Font.setDefaultFont(defaultFont.derive(Font.ITALIC));

But I don't want to do that.

I do like to use "javax.microedition.lcdui.Font" class to meet my requirements. Before that I’ve to ensure that the settings shouldn't be changed which one I’ve made before using "net.rim.device.api.ui.Font" and "net.rim.device.api.ui.FontFamily" classes.

I know, this is a silly question. But it's required to point to my interest. FYI, I’ve extends MainScreen from Canvas class.

Help me with your valuable feedback.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks,
ARIF

Hi all,

I’ve gained new FONT with my expected font style by using “public static Font getFont(int face, int style, int size)” method of “javax.microedition.lcdui.Font” class. Code is following:

Font defaultFont = Font. getDefaultFont();
Font newFont = Font.getFont(defaultFont.getFace(), STYLE_ITALIC, defaultFont.getSize());

But the problem is, it changes the size of the FONT that I made before by setting default font using net.rim.device.api.ui.Font for my application. Since getFont method of “javax.microedition.lcdui.Font” requires size parameter as one of SIZE_SMALL, SIZE_MEDIUM, or SIZE_LARGE.

Is there any other option to solve this problem using “javax.microedition.lcdui.Font” class? My intension is only to change STYLE of my default settings.

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks,
