Question

I would like to integrate a custom font into a synth style. I found a possible answer here but the interesting part – the xml – is not visible on that site.

Could some one explain to me, how to integrate this custom object into the xml?

Answer 1

I figured it out by myself. For everyone searching for this topic, here’s the solution.
Create a new class:

public class CustomFontResource {
    public static FontUIResource createFont(String path, final int size) {
        Font font = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT,
                new FileInputStream(path));

        FontUIResource fontResource = new FontUIResource(font.deriveFont(
            Font.PLAIN, size));
        return fontResource;
    }

}

Add this to the style.xml:

<object id="your_font_id" class="yourpackage.CustomFontResource"
        method="createFont">
    <string>fontpath</string>
    <int>desired size</int>
</object>

<style ...>
<font idref="your_font_id" />
</style>
