Problem Using Bitmap Font In Text Area LWUIT

[kevin allen]

Hi I have managed to create and use a bitmap font using the LWUIT resource editor.
It works fine with a label, but whenever I try and use it with a textarea, nothing happens,
the textarea maintains its default font.

The bitmap font is slightly large at 38px but I have tried smaller fonts without success...

Here is my code...

    
package hello;

import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
import com.sun.lwuit.*;
import com.sun.lwuit.events.*;
import com.sun.lwuit.util.Resources;
import com.sun.lwuit.layouts.BoxLayout;

public class HelloMIDlet extends MIDlet implements ActionListener {

    Label l;
    TextArea t;

  public void startApp() {
    Display.init(this);
    Font ff;

   try
   {
        Resources r = Resources.open("/hello/resource.res");
        ff = r.getFont("integer");

        l = new Label("Test.");
        l.getStyle().setFont(ff);
        l.setPreferredW(Display.getInstance().getDisplayHeight());
        l.setPreferredH(Display.getInstance().getDisplayHeight() / 2);

        t = new TextArea("");
        t.setPreferredH(Display.getInstance().getDisplayHeight() / 2);
        t.getStyle().setFont(ff);
        t.setText("Test.");
   } catch (Exception e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
   }

    Form f = new Form("Form");

    f.setLayout(new BoxLayout(BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
 
    f.addComponent(l);
    f.addComponent(t);

    f.show();

  }

  public void pauseApp() {}

  public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional) {}

  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
   notifyDestroyed();
  }

}

Does anyone know why the textarea will not accept the new font?

I have tried textarea.repaint(), textArea.refreshTheme() all with no luck.

thanks for you time,

Kevin
