public class FontDialog
extends Dialog
A dialog used for selecting a font. FontDialog is constructed with a Frame, DialogClient, initial font to display, and boolean that indicates modality.

FontDialog contains a preview panel which previews the currently selected font. Updating of the preview panel is triggered by a preview button at the bottom of the dialog.

FontDialog contains 3 methods which define the labels for the buttons it contains:

String getPreviewButtonLabel()
String getOkButtonLabel()
String getCancelButtonLabel()

By default the 3 methods return "Preview", "Ok" and "Cancel" respectively. FontDialog may be extended and the 3 methods overridden to customize the labels displayed in the buttons.

FontDialog uses Toolkit to get a list of fonts by invoking Toolkit.getFontList(). This is done in the getFontNames() method, which may be overridden by extensions of FontDialog in case the standard set of font names are inadequate.

Finally, font sizes are obtained by the getFontSizes() method. FontDialog defines 8 sizes by default: 8, 12, 14, 16, 18, 24, 48 and 64. Extensions of FontDialog may override getFontSizes() to provide a different list of sizes.

See gjt.test.FontDialogTest for an example of an extension of FontDialog which overrides the methods discussed above.
