Creating and Selecting a Font

Font(String fontName, int fontStyle, int pointSize)
Font Name:
• Dialog
• Sans Serif
• DialogInput
• Serif
• Monospaced
• Symbol

Font Style:
Font.PLAIN
Font.BOLD
Font.ITALIC

For combining styles, we can OR them together.

For example, Font.BOLD | Font.ITALIC

Setting the font:

void setFont(Font fontObj)
