Use resource font directly in Java

To load a font (.ttf) from a file, see Load font from ttf file .

Key lines:

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

      

        
        
        
      

    

The font can then be used for JLabel

using the usual method setFont

.
