static member Family : Java.Awt.Font.TextAttribute

Property Value

Attributes

Remarks

Attribute key for the font name. Values are instances of <b>String</b>. The default value is "Default", which causes the platform default font family to be used.

The Font class defines constants for the logical font names.

This defines the value passed as name to the Font constructor. Both logical and physical font names are allowed. If a font with the requested name is not found, the default font is used.

<em>Note:</em> This attribute is unfortunately misnamed, as it specifies the face name and not just the family. Thus values such as "Lucida Sans Bold" will select that face if it exists. Note, though, that if the requested face does not exist, the default will be used with <em>regular</em> weight. The "Bold" in the name is part of the face name, not a separate request that the font's weight be bold.
