How to Add Papyrus Font in JavaFX Application

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create text, add font to text, and add color to text in a JavaFX application. To use fonts in JavaFX, you must first create a Font object using the `Font` class.

One of the most important steps in creating text in JavaFX is choosing the right font. There are many built-in fonts available in JavaFX, but you can also load your own custom fonts from a file. In this tutorial, we will learn how to add the Papyrus font to our JavaFX application.

To use the Papyrus font, we need to create a `Font` object and pass the name of the font as an argument to the constructor. Here is an example:

```java

Font papyrusFont = Font.font('Papyrus');

```

Once we have created the `Font` object, we can set it as the default font for our text using the `-fx-font` attribute.

Here's how you can add Papyrus font in JavaFX:

1. Create a new JavaFX project and open it in Scene Builder.

2. Add a Text component to your scene by dragging and dropping a Text icon from the Palette onto the Stage.

3. Select the Text component and go to the Properties panel.

4. In the Properties panel, click on the 'Font' tab.

5. Click on the 'Custom Font' button and select 'Papyrus' from the list of available fonts.

6. Set the font size and style as needed.

You can also use Java code to set the font for your text component:

```java

Text text = new Text('Hello, World!');

text.setFont(papyrusFont);

```

In this example, we create a `Text` object and set its font using the `setFont()` method. We pass the `papyrusFont` object as an argument to the `setFont()` method.

That's it! With these steps, you should be able to add the Papyrus font to your JavaFX application. Remember to choose the right font for your needs, as different fonts can have different styles and sizes.

In this tutorial, we learned how to create text in a JavaFX application, add font to text, and add color to text. We also learned how to use the Papyrus font in our JavaFX application. By following these steps, you should be able to customize your text components using different fonts and styles.
