I have the user enter some words through a JTextField. I want to set the font of the string. Here is what I have so far.

f = new Font(input.getText(), Font.ITALIC, 32);
word = new JLabel(f, SwingConstants.CENTER);
Unfortunately, Java is throwing me a compiler error because JLabel doesn’t accept Font as a parameter. Is it possible to set the font of a string retrieved from a text field and have it displayed on a JFrame?
