JavaFX: Bringing Rich Experiences To All the Screens Of Your Life

Profile: desktop, common

Overview

The Font class represents fonts, which are used to render text on screen. A Font includes the name of the font (such as 'Helvetica' or 'Arial'), the style of the font (bold, plain or italic), and the size of the font in points (10pt, 12pt, etc.)

A font provides the information needed to map sequences of characters to sequences of glyphs and to render sequences of glyphs on screen.
