Class Font

public class Font

extends Object

Font is the character font used when drawing text on a surface.

Fonts have a name, such as "Helvetica", a style and a point size (usually around 10). It's important to note that many devices have an extremely limited number of fonts. For example, most PalmPilot devices have only two fonts: plain and bold. If the font specified can't be found during drawing, the closest matching font will be used.
