Question

would like to know which Font is the thinnest in Java. I have limited space to show the characters so I would like to take the most thin font.

I mean given a font size, which font takes the minimal space in x-dimension. that should be clear now.

Answer 1

Here is a large list of font examples:

My picks are:

• Aurora Cn BT – not very readable but it IS thin.
• English 111 Vivace BT is very thin and readable cursive unless you use a lot of uppercase.
• Coronet is extremely thin and similar to English 111 Vivace BT
• Marigold is not as thin, but it might be more readable
• Onyx and OzHandicraft are both very thin and readable
• Ribbon 131 Bd BT
• Sceptre and Socket – thin and readable
