How do you guys define one font style for all application?

Hello guys

I know how to use setFont and Font class to change the font of compnent some thing like :

Font font = new Font("Tohama", Font.BOLD, 12);
userText.setFont(font); 

but the question is I want to write this code only once and it I want it to change the entire applications font. Is it possbile ?

If this is Swing, you can use the methods of UIManager. For the keys, check out Rob Camick's UIManager Defaults.

Thank you very much, I got it solved

there is my code, in case some one needs

Font font = new Font("Tohama", Font.BOLD, 11);
java.util.Enumeration keys = UIManager.getDefaults().keys();
         while (keys.hasMoreElements()) {
         Object key = keys.nextElement();
         Object value = UIManager.get(key);
         if (value instanceof javax.swing.plaf.FontUIResource) {
         UIManager.put(key, font);

Good Luck

Farhad, thanks for sharing your solution. You could also use UIManager.getFont(key) which returns null if the value for key is not a Font.
