Use resource font directly in Java

Question

How to use resource font directly in Java?

Answer 1

To load a font (.ttf) from file, have a look at Load font from ttf file.

Key lines being:

InputStream is = DemoFonts.class.getResourceAsStream(fName);
font = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, is);

The font could then be used for a JLabel through the usual setFont method.
