echopoint.style
Class DefaultFont

java.lang.Object
  echopoint.style.DefaultFont

public class DefaultFont
extends Object

A font utility class that is used to enforce an application wide font face policy. The default font face, font style and font size to use may be specified as system properties with the following keys:

• echopoint.style.DefaultFont.typeface - Example "'Verdana, Times New Roman'"
• echopoint.style.DefaultFont.style - Example BOLD
• echopoint.style.DefaultFont.size - Example 12pt

Alternatively, the default font properties may be specified in your web.xml file as servlet init-param values if extending from the echopoint.Servlet class (in the webcontainer tree).

Note: Please note that the fonts are created using FontKit.makeFont(String), so please follow the same conventions when configuring the font properties.
