Ability to specify fonts by name and change fonts while running #23

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Please describe use-case:

The AWT Font object is tied directly to the AWT and shouldn't be used in the 
generic interface. As such, we need to support a font name to be given at 
construction so that a "not crappy" font can be used.

If we're going to have it at constructor time, we should support changing the 
font without restarting, too. What's the worst that will happen? The 
rows/columns will change -- possibly resulting in a font-size change. We treat 
it like any other RESIZE event. 

While we can't really support the sorts of font-changing user-interfaces folks 
see with GUI applications, the user's application should be able to present a 
list of viable font candidates and have the user try them out WITHOUT 
restarting.
