**heman** · 10-23-2012, 02:33 PM

hello,
I wish to change the font size of the text in text field.I wish that the font should be of bigger size.
I am trying to design a calculator and input is taken from clicking the buttons only.
Please help me in light of awt only.
I have take look at java doc and found that it is in java.awt.font package and textAttribute is responsible but unable to resolve issue.'
thanks.,
regards.

Why are you using AWT and not Swing?

What did the API for TextField tell you?

I am not using Swing becoz till now I dont know swing and i am a new learner in java.

Swing has pretty much replaced AWT. You should probably be using that instead.

But either way your answer lies in searching the API: Java Platform SE 7

You are looking for a way to set the font. Start there.

Please take the trouble to spell words in full. This is a programming forum, not SMS chat.

Read the API for javax.swing.JTextField and follow the link to the tutorial. You'll find enough sample code there.
