Java Fonts FAQ: How do I create a list of all the fonts available on the current platform (MacOS, Linux, Windows)?
Answer: To list all the fonts available to you in a Java application (a Java Swing application), use the GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().
method of the GraphicsEnvironment class, which technically returns an array of all the font family names it finds on the local system.
getAvailableFontFamilyNames()
Here’s a small but complete sample Java program that prints out all the fonts (font family names):
package com.alvinalexander.javasamples; import java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment; public class ListJavaFonts { public static void main(String[] args) { String fonts[] = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getAvailableFontFamilyNames(); for (int i = 0; i < fonts.length; i++) { System.out.println(fonts[i]); } } }
On my macOS version 10.4.10 system, this Java fonts program results in the following output:
