<div>
Setting the TextField height so that it is large enough<br />
to display the font, yet not too large.<br />
<br />
That is, does there exist a constant, ?, such that<br />
textField.setBounds(x, y, w, fontSize+?) is large enough<br />
to display the font correctly and that ? is the smallest<br />
constant that exists.<br />
<br />
The answer probably depends on the font and/or fontsize; because<br />
I tried setting the height to 25, font family to &quot;TimesRoman&quot; and<br />
it displayed correctly for sizes 1-8 and 10 but not 9. &nbsp;Strange!?<br />

<div>
Yes, I'll do that -- Thanks!<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I always seem to have to edit, compile, run, edit, compile, run, etc...<br />
when trying to get the TextField box to not cut off the text in it.<br />
<br />
Is there any determinant way to set the bounds (height) of a TextField so that<br />
the text that gets displayed in it doesn't get cut off.<br />
<br />
I also need it to be platform and resolution independent.<br />
<br />
I have tried three platforms: &nbsp;Windows95, Linux (X), Solaris (CDE).<br />
Windows handles it the best; whereis Solaris the worst.<br />

Font Size verus TextField Bounds

A font is a particular size, weight and style of a typeface. Each font is a matched set of type, one piece (called a "sort") for each glyph, and a typeface consists of a range of fonts that share an overall design. With the advent of digital typography, font is frequently synonymous with typeface, although the two terms do not necessarily mean the same thing. In particular, the use of "vector" or "outline" fonts means that different sizes of a typeface can be dynamically generated from one design. Each style may still be in a separate "font file" -- for instance, the typeface "Futura" may include the fonts "Futura roman", "Futura italic", "Futura bold" and "Futura extended" —- but the term "font" might be applied either to one of these alone or to the whole typeface.

Fonts Typography

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
