height

  public int height

The old field name for the point size of this font. This field was renamed to "size" to avoid confusion with the font metric of the same name which provides information about how tall the font actually is. This field is deprecated. Use size to refer to the requested size of the font and use getFontMetrics to obtain information about the font for layout purposes.

See Also:: getFontMetrics, getFontMetrics

actualHeight

  public int actualHeight

The actual logical height of this font after possible size substitutions occur in the awt library when looking for a font match. This field is deprecated. Use getFontMetrics instead.

See Also:: getFontMetrics, getFontMetrics

widths

  public int widths[]

This field is deprecated. Use getFontMetrics instead.

See Also:: getFontMetrics, getFontMetrics

toString

  public String toString()

Convert this object to a string representation.

Overrides:: toString in class Object

charWidth

  public int charWidth(int ch)

Return the width of the specified character in this Font. This function is deprecated. Use getFontMetrics instead.
