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

The answer in a single line of code (assuming you have already set Nimbus LaF):

UIManager.getLookAndFeelDefaults().put("defaultFont", new Font(Font.SANS_SERIF, 0, 20));

Of course, you need to call this before you create any GUI components, i.e. right in your main just after setting Nimbus LaF.
