If you want to use the font of another component but adapt the style + size:<br />
<br />
reportTitleLabel.setFont( otherComponent.getFont().d<wbr />eriveFont(<wbr />Font.ITALI<wbr />C, 16) );
</div>


If you want to use the font of another component but adapt the style + size:

reportTitleLabel.setFont( otherComponent.getFont().deriveFont(Font.ITALIC, 16) );

Font

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.

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.
