Java: Altering UI fonts (Nimbus) doesn't work!

Question

I\'m referring to this Nimbus reference.

I tried to set global Font to be slightly larger:

UIManager.put(\"defaultFont\", new Font(Font.SANS_SERIF,         


        

Answer 1

Wrap your Font with FontUIResource. I had the exact same problem with UIManager colors and ColorUIResource fixed everything. Without digging through the JDK, I think there are some places where components expect (read: check via instanceof) for UIResources (maybe someone can confirm this)
