JComboBox in JMenu for font selection.

I'm working on an application where the user may want to frequently change fonts. I would LIKE to simply include a JComboBox dropdown in my JMenu. Is there any way I can stick a JComboBox into the menubar? Or will I be forced to use a popup or a seperate item elswhere in the frame.

Thanks,

Donald HInes

I wanted a JComboBox because it allows the user to simply type in a fontname if they wished instead of scrolling through a long list. BUT I suppose most users are going to scroll anyway. I'll either use a submenu or try out the JToolbar.
Thank you for the help.

Java

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.
