Hi friends,
Please help me in creating font chooser component

you could create a font menu, e.g.

// create the font menu
protected void createFontMenu()
        {
        JMenuItem menuItem = new JMenuItem("10");
        menuItem.addActionListener(this);
        fontMenu.add(menuItem);
        menuItem = new JMenuItem("12");
        menuItem.addActionListener(this);
        fontMenu.add(menuItem);
        menuItem = new JMenuItem("14");
        menuItem.addActionListener(this);
        fontMenu.add(menuItem);
        menuItem = new JMenuItem("16");
        menuItem.addActionListener(this);
        fontMenu.add(menuItem);
... etc
 

then when the menu item is selected read the integer and set the font size, e.g.

    else
    if( menuSelected == fontMenu) 
        {
         try { 
              font = (new Integer((String)obj)).intValue();  
              errorArea.setFont(new Font("Courier New", Font.BOLD,  font)) ;  
 

otherwise you could use a popup menu, etc
