Hi,
Does anybody know which method I can use to set all the elements of the ListModel object to a specific font?
Thanks.

A ListModel has nothing to do with the display of its data; it just takes care of the data. It's the JList that has to display the data and because a JList extends from a JComponent it doesn't have to deal with the font used itself.

kind regards,

I understand but how should I go about setting the font of element of the list?

If you want to set a different font per cell you have to implement your own ListCellRenderer for that purpose (read the API documentation for an explanation of cell renderers).

Ok, Thanks.
I have another question if I have a table and has data as follows, how can I set the font of the string hello?

data[1][0] = "hello";

Thank you

Strings don't have fonts.

[jboy]

Does that mean that there is no way that I can change the font of the string "hello"?

See reply 6.

If you need further help then you need to create a SSCCE, that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour.
