FontShowerAWT

Displays all the fonts available to AWT in Java on your

machine. Displays the fonts in a variety of styles, sizes

and colours, rendered either with a Canvas or with a TextArea.

FontShowerAwt displays the fonts available on *your* machine

to *Java*. Other people will have different fonts installed

and will see different selections available to Java on

their machines. Your browser will see a slightly different

set of fonts than Java does. Java has a few extra private

fonts, and some browser fonts don't work with Java.

The source contains two classes that may be of general use:

ColorChooser, an AWT color chooser that works in both hex

and decimal letting you select foreground or background

colours. You can cannibalise this Component for your own

programs.

The other is a FontArea, which is like a stripped-down

TextArea, except it lets you use any Font on it, not just

the basic logical fonts the way a real TextArea does.

Complete Java source included.
