Font Name string

[Jenny]

Hi,

I wrote a line

Font ft = new Font("Times New Roman",Font.BOLD,20);

It works.

Could you tell me why

Font ft = new Font("TimesRoman",Font.BOLD,20);

also work?

I checked the font names. I can only find the font name Times New
Roman on my PC, NOT "TimesRoman".

I use Windows 2000 and Java SDK 1.4.2.

Thanks a lot.

Did you try

Font ft = new Font("DwightSchmidlap",Font.BOLD,20);

? Perhaps there is a default? I dunno...

Sorry about this. Should probably add something
about font names ;-)

Actually, even that. There is considerable thought that the speed of light
might have been different in the wee hours of the universe. That C might
actually be monotonically changing across the time axis.

Had it used the default, it would not be BOLD and 20 points. It is not the default.

No no no. My question is: Is there a default for the /NAME/ ? That's why I
mentioned the test I did. It could see the dwightschmidlap, and substitute
a default name. The rest would be left alone.

Read the documentation for the Font(String,int,int) constructor and then
try run the following code and look carefully at the output from the two
fonts (look at the "family" value).

public class FontTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(new java.awt.Font("Times New Roman",Font.BOLD,20));
System.out.println(new java.awt.Font("TimesRoman",Font.BOLD,20));
}
}
