How to specify that a particular RichTextField should use a specific font (such as BBAlpha Serif) instead of the Default Font? Thanx.

Hi,

you create aRichTextField object

RichTextField rtf = new RichTextField();

The you create a font object like

Font font = Font.getDefault();

try{
   FontFamily ff = FontFamily.forName("BBAlpha Serif");
   font = ff.getFont(Font.BOLD, 18);
}catch(Exception e){}

Then all you need to do is set the font for the rtf field

rtf.setFont(font);

Hope this helps....
