How do I change the default font?

[Saint-Theana]

I created a terminal by

 DefaultTerminalFactory factory = new DefaultTerminalFactory(System.out, System.in, Charset.forName("UTF8"));
Terminal term = factory.createTerminalEmulator();

Then create a screen by that terminal. Finally I created a TextGraph by calling screen.newTextGraphics(); When I put something in TextGraph by calling putCSIStyledString(....),I got Texts on the terminal as I expectd,but font is very unclear from far distance. This is a picture taken from a very close distance.(about 10cm betwin my phone and screen on my pc.) The title of terminal emulator window shows that is a SwingTerminalFrame. I tried to set font by those code but it doesnt work.

SwingTerminalFrame term = (SwingTerminalFrame) factory.createTerminalEmulator();
term.setFont(new Font("FreeMono", Font.PLAIN, 30));

Please help me,best regards.

You cannot (iirc) set a font directly to an already created terminal.

Instead you need to look for class "SwingTerminalFontConfiguration", create a subclass of it to override selectDefaultFont to return your favourite array of Fonts, then create an instance of your FontConfiguration subclass and pass that to method setTerminalEmulatorFontConfiguration(...) of the TerminalFactory...

I have to admit I haven't needed that, myself, so I hope this pointer already helps. Also, I haven't closely followed changes of the last few years, so there might even be an easier way in the meantime.

Oops, sorry ... Just noticed that selectDefaultFont methods are static, and thus cannot really be "overridden"...

You still seem to need to subclass SwingTerminalFontConfiguration, but then call it's super-constructor somewhat like SwingTerminalFontConfiguration.newInstance() does, just with your own array of Fonts...

I looked into source code and found that the default font was directly created by a static method,I am not sure I can override it,forget about it,I chose to use the source code of lanterna rather than binary library so I can be able to do some modification. I hope lanterna can provide feafures such as changing the default fonts in the near future. Thanks.

 public SwingTerminal(TerminalScrollController scrollController) {
        this(TerminalEmulatorDeviceConfiguration.getDefault(),
                SwingTerminalFontConfiguration.getDefault(),
                TerminalEmulatorColorConfiguration.getDefault(),
                scrollController);
    }
