Pick your font family, font style, and point size plus foreground and background colors. (Go see the screen shot if you'd rather not load the plug-in or run the applet now.)
This Java 1.6 applet probably requires Sun's Java Plug-in 1.6 to be loaded into your browser. If that is necessary it is handled automatically, perhaps as you read this. You may have to click on the plug-in icon (looks like a jigsaw puzzle piece) to get things started.
Using the Font Picker is easy. Just make a selection from a pull-down menu or
enter a color value and the text will be refreshed with the new font/color
specification. Color values should be entered as hex RGB values as specified
in HTML tags, for example: #33cc33. A few color names are also recognized
(see the java.awt.Color
class documentation).
You may also type in the text area if you want to see something in particular.
For some reason, changing the font style sometimes does not have any effect unless you change one of the other two font attributes.
