  • I am trying to change the font type and size in a JTable cell. Ive looked at tons of posts and while most don't produce stack traces, they don't seem to do anything either.
  • Here is the code I currently have. The result of the code within `BorderLayout()` is making my table look like a blank white box which would otherwise look like a normal table without the code. Is anyone familar with how to achieve this?
  • private JTable topScore = new JTable(10, 7);
  • //...other private vars...
  • public YahtzeeCard(int width, int height) {
  • this.height = height;
  • this.width = width;
  • setPreferredSize(new Dimension(width, height));
  • setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.black));
  • setBackground(Color.white);
  • BoardLayout();
  • }
  • public void BoardLayout() {
  • //...add rows/columns to model, change cell size, etc...
  • TableCellRenderer render = topScore.getCellRenderer(0, 0);
  • topScore.setDefaultRenderer(TableCellRenderer.class, render);
  • Component c = topScore.prepareRenderer(render, 0, 0);
  • c.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.BOLD, 12));

Changing the font of a certain cell within a JTable
I am trying to change the font type and size in a JTable cell. Ive looks at tons of posts and while most don't produce stack traces, they don't seem to do anything either.

Here is the code I currently have. The result of the code within `BorderLayout()` is making my table look like a blank white box which would otherwise look like a normal table without the code. Is anyone familar with how to achieve this?

	     private JTable topScore = new JTable(10, 7);
             //...other private vars...

	     public YahtzeeCard(int width, int height) {
            this.height = height;
		this.width = width;
		
		setPreferredSize(new Dimension(width, height));
		setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.black));
		setBackground(Color.white);	
		BoardLayout();
	}
     
        public void BoardLayout() {
             //...add rows/columns to model, change cell size, etc...
             TableCellRenderer render = topScore.getCellRenderer(0, 0);
             topScore.setDefaultRenderer(TableCellRenderer.class, render); 
             Component c = topScore.prepareRenderer(render, 0, 0);
             c.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.BOLD, 12));
        }
