DefaultFontProvider

public interface FontProvider

Provides the first available Font on the system.

Method Summary

java.awt.Font	getConfluenceFont(java.lang.String name) Get the specified Confluence bundled Font.
java.awt.Font	getFirstAvailableFont(java.lang.String... desiredFontNames) Returns the first available font among the specified fonts (respects order).

Method Detail

getFirstAvailableFont

java.awt.Font getFirstAvailableFont(java.lang.String... desiredFontNames)

Returns the first available font among the specified fonts (respects order).

Parameters:

desiredFontNames - desired font names

Returns:

the first available font among the specified fonts (respects order).

getConfluenceFont

java.awt.Font getConfluenceFont(java.lang.String name)

Get the specified Confluence bundled Font. Not that the returned font will default to a size of 12. Font.deriveFont(int) can be used on the returned Font if you need a different size. This method does not look to system installed Fonts but only considers those bundled with Confluence.

On Windows and Linux platforms explicitly retrieving a Font will constrain you to only the glyphs available within that font. On Mac OS X the JVM will try to find a suitable glyph from all available fonts. If you want this behaviour on the other platforms then you should use logical font names and the getFirstAvailableFont(String...) method.

Parameters:

name - the name of the Font required.

Returns:

the named font bundled with Confluence, or null if no Font can be found
