C.6 Registry.dat

For a description and the location of Registry.dat, see Chapter 3.2.4.1, "Registry.dat".

The main reason you would want to edit this file is to change the icon settings (see Deploying Application Icons). You can also change the default font and font settings by changing the following section in the Registry.dat file:

default.fontMap.defaultFontname=Dialog
default.fontMap.defaultSize=900
default.fontMap.defaultStyle=PLAIN
default.fontMap.defaultWeight=PLAIN

Change any of the settings above to reflect your desired font setting. For example, if you want to change your default font to Times New Roman, replace Dialog with Times New Roman.

You can change the default font face mappings:

default.fontMap.appFontnames=Courier New,Courier,
courier,System,Terminal,Fixed,Fixedsys,Times,Times New Roman,
MS Sans Serif,Arial
default.fontMap.javaFontnames=MonoSpaced,MonoSpaced,MonoSpaced,Dialog,
MonoSpaced,Dialog,Dialog,Serif,Serif,Dialog,SansSerif

Some fonts on Windows are not supported in Java. For this reason you can specify (map) Java-supported fonts that will appear when a non-supported font is encountered. In the previous sample, each font in default.fontMap.appFontnames corresponds to a font in default.fontMap.javaFontnames. For more samples, see Default Registry.dat
