Hi Everybody,

Can tell me everybody how to set the text size?

In Eclipse-Jave i use:
new Font(Display.getDefault(), "Times New Roman", 18, SWT.ITALIC)

Thanks for every answer.

String fontName;
FontFamily ff; 
int fontSize;
Font font;

fontName="BBClarity";
fontSize=12;
ff = FontFamily.forName(fontName);               
font = ff.getFont(FontFamily.SCALABLE_FONT, fontSize).derive(Font.PLAIN);               
Font.setDefaultFont(font);

Thanks for your help simon, i have tryed to paint two different text-size's but the program close and it shot this message:

Uncaught exception:
Application GebPlaner(118) is not responding; process terminated

My Code to paint two different text-size's:

protected void paint(Graphics graphics){
try{
String fontName;
FontFamily ff;
int fontSize;
Font font;
fontSize=12;

fontName="BBMillbankTall";
ff = FontFamily.forName(fontName);
font = ff.getFont(FontFamily.SCALABLE_FONT, fontSize).derive(Font.BOLD);
Font.setDefaultFont(font);
graphics.drawText("BBMillbankTall",1,60);

fontSize=9;

fontName="BBMillbankTall";
ff = FontFamily.forName(fontName);
font = ff.getFont(FontFamily.SCALABLE_FONT, fontSize).derive(Font.BOLD);
Font.setDefaultFont(font);
graphics.drawText("BBMillbankTall",1,80);

}catch(Exception e){}
}

if you're using this method you'd use:

graphics.setFont(font);
graphics.drawText("myText", 0, 0);

but why are you overriding a paint method? are you creating your own interface?

you can just set the font of any field:

LabelField myLabelField = new LabelField("Hello World");
myLabelField.setFont(myFont());
add(myLabelField);
.
.
.
public static Font myFont() {
try {
FontFamily theFam = FontFamily.forName("SYSTEM");
return theFam.getFont(net.rim.device.api.ui.Font.PLAIN, 14);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}

I thank you. Now it functions marvelously.



ff = FontFamily.forName("BBMillbankTall");
font = ff.getFont(FontFamily.SCALABLE_FONT, 12).derive(Font.BOLD);
LabelField lf_4 = new LabelField("BBMillbankTall - Size:12");
lf_4.setFont(font);
add(lf_4);
