Class FontPolicies

java.lang.Object
  com.jgoodies.looks.FontPolicies

public final class FontPolicies
extends Object

Provides predefined FontPolicy implementations.

Note: The available policies work well on Windows On other platforms the fonts specified by the runtime environmen are chosen. I plan to provide more logic or options for other platforms for example that a Linux system checks for a Tahoma or Segoe UI.
