How to change the Java (Swing) Default Font Size

807601Apr 25 2008 — edited May 1 2008

Hi,

I want to run some java applications on various Linux distros. (Fedora Core 8, CentOS 3,4, etc)

However the default font size is rather small; a 10 points font or so. I want to change the default to at least a 14 points font.
How can I achieve that. Is there a property I can pass to the application with -D option? Or what about the font property files?

I got jdk1.6.0_04 installed.

Thanks

Hans.
