Change JTextField Font?

[Krooger]

Hello,

I cannot figure out how to change the font of a JTextField
I know to use;

Font newFont = new Font("DeutscheZierschrift", 0, 16);
aField.setFont(newFont);

But I want to use a custom font I have downloaded.
I put "DeutscheZierschrift.ttf" in the following folder
java>jre6>lib>fonts

but when I try to load it in java, the text does not change.

Anyone know how to get this working?

Thank You

Read the Font API. I would guess you need to use the Font.createFont(...) method.

And please don't put font files in the jre lib folder. That's definitely not the right place for them.
