Method Detail

getName

String getName()

Returns the logical name of this IFont. Use getFamily to get the family name of the font. Use getFontName to get the font face name of the font.

Returns:

a String representing the logical name of this IFont.

See Also:

getFamily(), getFontName()

getFamily

String getFamily()

Returns the family name of this IFont.

The family name of a font is font specific. Two fonts such as Helvetica Italic and Helvetica Bold have the same family name, Helvetica, whereas their font face names are Helvetica Bold and Helvetica Italic. The list of available family names may be obtained by using the GraphicsEnvironment.getAvailableFontFamilyNames() method.

Use getName to get the logical name of the font. Use getFontName to get the font face name of the font.

Returns:

a String that is the family name of this IFont.

See Also:

getName(), getFontName()

getFontName

String getFontName()

Returns the font face name of this IFont. For example, Helvetica Bold could be returned as a font face name. Use getFamily to get the family name of the font. Use getName to get the logical name of the font.

Returns:

a String representing the font face name of this IFont.

See Also:

getFamily(), getName()

getStyle

int getStyle()

Returns the style of this IFont. The style can be PLAIN, BOLD, ITALIC, or BOLD+ITALIC.

Returns:

the style of this IFont

getSize

int getSize()

Returns the point size of this IFont, rounded to an integer. Most users are familiar with the idea of using point size to specify the size of glyphs in a font. This point size defines a measurement between the baseline of one line to the baseline of the following line in a single spaced text document. The point size is based on typographic points, approximately 1/72 of an inch.

The Java(tm)2D API adopts the convention that one point is equivalent to one unit in user coordinates. When using a normalized transform for converting user space coordinates to device space coordinates 72 user space units equal 1 inch in device space. In this case one point is 1/72 of an inch.

Returns:

the point size of this IFont in 1/72 of an inch units.
