Fonts

[DevCharly]

This PR packages some fonts into JARs (will be released to Maven Central later) and provides an easy way to use them with FlatLaf.

At the moment there are two fonts:

• Inter (https://rsms.me/inter/) - a typeface carefully crafted & designed for computer screens
• JetBrains Mono (https://www.jetbrains.com/mono) - a monospaced typeface

The Inter font was chosen because it is designed for computer screens and because JetBrains recently announced to use it for all its IntelliJ based IDEs as default font on all supported OSs. Maybe you want use it too in your application?

The JetBrains Mono font was chosen because I wanted to use it in FlatLaf Theme Editor.

This is the FlatLaf Demo using Inter font:

The fonts need to be installed before the can be used. E.g.

FlatInterFont.install();
FlatJetBrainsMonoFont.install();

To use them in your application as default font, use:

FlatLaf.setPreferredFontFamily( FlatInterFont.FAMILY );
FlatLaf.setPreferredLightFontFamily( FlatInterFont.FAMILY_LIGHT );
FlatLaf.setPreferredSemiboldFontFamily( FlatInterFont.FAMILY_SEMIBOLD );
FlatLaf.setPreferredMonospacedFontFamily( FlatJetBrainsMonoFont.FAMILY );

FlatLightLaf.setup();

//TODO create UI

You can of course also create fonts. E.g.:

// basic styles
new Font( FlatInterFont.FAMILY, Font.PLAIN, 12 );
new Font( FlatInterFont.FAMILY, Font.ITALIC, 12 );
new Font( FlatInterFont.FAMILY, Font.BOLD, 12 );
new Font( FlatInterFont.FAMILY, Font.BOLD | Font.ITALIC, 12 );

// light
new Font( FlatInterFont.FAMILY_LIGHT, Font.PLAIN, 12 );
new Font( FlatInterFont.FAMILY_LIGHT, Font.ITALIC, 12 );

// semibold
new Font( FlatInterFont.FAMILY_SEMIBOLD, Font.PLAIN, 12 );
new Font( FlatInterFont.FAMILY_SEMIBOLD, Font.ITALIC, 12 );
